In recent years, the capability of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict the trajectories of stores has greatly expanded. In this study, a CFD code developed at NASA has been used to explain an unexpected flight test result in order to assess the accuracy of CFD as applied to store separation. In December of 1998 during routine bombing practice at Fallon, NV, an F-18C released a Mark 82 JDAM bomb ...
