This study describes the aerodynamic efficiency of a forebody–inlet configuration and computational investigation of a drone system, capable of sustainable supersonic cruising at Mach 1.60. Because the whole drone configuration is formed around the induction system and the design is highly interrelated to the flow structure of forebody and inlet efficiency, analysis of this section and understanding its flow pattern is necessary before any progress in design phases. The compression surface is designed analytically using oblique shock patterns, which results in a low drag forebody. To study the concept, two inlet–forebody geometries are considered for Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation using ANSYS Fluent code. The supersonic and subsonic performance, effects of angle of attack, sideslip, and duct geometries on the propulsive efficiency of the concept are studied by solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in structured cell domains. Comparing the results with the available data from other sources indicates that the aerodynamic efficiency of the concept is acceptable at supersonic and transonic regimes.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is often used to study fluid flow and structures motion in fluids. The CFD normally requires large size of arrays and computer memory and then caused long execution time. However, Innovation of computer hardware such as multi-cores processor provides an alternative solution to improve this programming performance. This paper discussed loop parallelize multi-cores processor for optimization of sequential looping CFD code. This loop parallelize CFD was achieved by applying multi-tasking or multi-threading code into the original CFD code which was developed by one of the authors. The CFD code was developed based on Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) method. The new CFD code program was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) programming language. In the early stage, the whole CFD code was constructed in a sequential flow before it is modified to parallel flow by using VBs multi-threading library. In the comparison, fluid flow around the hull of round-shaped FPSO was selected to compare the performance of both the programming codes. Besides, executed results of this self-developed code such as pressure distribution around the hull were also presented in this paper.

Abstract Starting from a kinetic BGK-model for a rarefied polyatomic gas, based on a molecular structure of discrete internal energy levels, an asymptotic Chapman-Enskog procedure is developed in the asymptotic continuum limit in order to derive consistent fluid-dynamic equations for macroscopic fields at Navier-Stokes level. In this way, the model allows to treat the gas as a mixture of mono-atomic species. Explicit expressions are given not only for dynamical pressure, but also for shear stress, diffusion velocities, and heat flux. The analysis is shown to deal properly also with a mixture of reactive gases, endowed for simplicity with translational degrees of freedom only, in which frame analogous results can be achieved.

The impact of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods on the development of advanced aerospace vehicles is growing stronger year by year. Design engineers are now becoming familiar with CFD tools and are developing productive methods and techniques for their applications. This paper presents and discusses applications of CFD methods used at Grumman to design and predict the performance of propulsion system elements such as inlets and nozzles. The paper demonstrates techniques for applying various CFD codes and shows several interesting and unique results. A novel application of a supersonic Euler analysis of an inlet approach flow field, to clarify a wind tunnel-to-flight data conflict, is presented. In another example, calculations and measurements of low-speed inlet performance at angle of attack are compared. This is highlighted by employing a simplistic and low-cost computational model. More complex inlet flow phenomena at high angles of attack, calculated using an approach that combines a panel method with a Navier-Stokes (N-S) code, is also reviewed. The inlet fluid mechanics picture is rounded out by describing an N-S calculation and a comparison with test data of an offset diffuser having massively separated flow on one wall. Finally, the propulsion integration picture is completed by a discussion of the results of nozzle-afterbody calculations, using both a complete aircraft simulation in a N-S code, and a more economical calculation using an equivalent body of revolution technique.

<p>Large-scale instability in incompressible fluid driven by the so called Anisotropic Kinetic Alpha (AKA) effect satisfying the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with Coriolis force is considered. The external force is periodic; this allows applying an unusual for turbulence calculations mathematical method developed by Frisch et al [1]. The method provides the orders for nonlinear equations and obtaining large scale equations from the corresponding secular relations that appear at different orders of expansions. This method allows obtaining not only corrections to the basic solutions of the linear problem but also provides the large-scale solution of the nonlinear equations with the amplitude exceeding that of the basic solution. The fluid velocity is obtained by numerical integration of the large-scale equations. The solution without the Coriolis force leads to constant velocities at the steady-state, which agrees with the full solution of the Navier-Stokes equation reported previously. The time-invariant solution contains three families of solutions, however, only one of these families contains stable solutions. The final values of the steady-state fluid velocity are determined by the initial conditions. After account of the Coriolis force the solutions become periodic in time and the family of solutions collapses to a unique solution. On the other hand, even with the Coriolis force the fluid motion remains two-dimensional in space and depends on a single spatial variable. The latter fact limits the scope of the AKA method to applications with pronounced 2D nature. In application to 3D models the method must be used with caution.</p><p>[1] U. Frisch, Z.S. She and P. L.
