Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes simulations have been performed to examine modeling upgrades for scramjet flowpath predictions. A flush, non-reacting hydrogen fuel injector flowfield was used as the model problem, and an LES simulation of the problem was used for comparison purposes. Calculations were first performed examining the effect of Schmidt number with a constant Prandtl number. Next the effect of the compressibility correction used was examined. These findings indicated that ...
In an effort to determine the impact of various wing parameters on the abrupt wing stall phenomenon encountered by the pre-production F/A-18E, various characteristics of the F/A-18C wing were modified to reflect the design changes incorporated into the F/A-18E wing. The parameters evaluated during this study included thickness, camber, twist, leading-edge radius, leading-edge flap-chord ratio and the addition of a leading-edge snag. The wing parameters were modified independently and then ...
