The focus of this work is the investigation of the complex compressible flow phenomena associated with high speed aerial weapons. A three dimen- sional multiblock finite volume flow solver was developed with the aim ...

An efficient three-dimensionasl tructured solver for the Euler and Navier-Stokese quations is developed based on a finite volume upwind algorithm using Roe fluxes. Multigrid and optimal smoothing multi-stage time stepping ...

For simulations of supersonic flows shock-capturing schemes have to be used. A shock-capturing scheme produces more dissipation than a central difference scheme. In fact, the numerical dissipation produced by shock-capturing ...

A two-dimensional model of the aerodynamics of rotor blades in forward flight is proposed in which the motion of the blade is represented by periodical variations of the freestrearn velocity and incidence. A novel ...
