TURBULENT FLOW SIMULATIONS ABOUT THE AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION

Abstract

An application of the KFLOW3D code which has been developed at KAIST is presented. This paper briefly describes the underlying methodology and summarizes the results for the DLR-F6 transport configuration recently presented in the second AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop held in Orlando, FL, June 2003. KFLOW3D is a parallelized Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solver for multi-block structured grids. For the present computations, 2-equation k-ω WD+ nonlinear eddy viscosity model is used. The emphasis of the paper is placed on the implementation of the k-ω WD+ model in the multigrid framework and practicality of KFLOW3D for accurately predicting not only the integrated aerodynamic property such as the drag coefficient but pressure distributions.
