Mathematical Modeling of Aerodynamic Heating and Pressure Distribution on a 5-Inch Hemispherical Concave Nose in Supersonic Flow

During the design of an aircraft, a significant parameter that is taken into consideration is aerodynamic heating. Aerodynamically induced heating affects both the structure of the aircraft and its vulnerability to heat-seeking missiles in modern warfare. As a result, the ability to calculate effici...

description During the design of an aircraft, a significant parameter that is taken into consideration is aerodynamic heating. Aerodynamically induced heating affects both the structure of the aircraft and its vulnerability to heat-seeking missiles in modern warfare. As a result, the ability to calculate efficiently the heating produced as well as the pressure distribution in such flows is crucial. Therefore, in this present study, the PHOENICS CFD code as modified by DRA Farnborough in order to calculate heat transfer and pressure measurement on a 5-inch hemispherical concave nose at a Mach number of 2.0 is evaluated and customized in order to produce faster and more accurate results. Apart from numerical alterations, different turbulence models are being examined as well as different discretization schemes. Numerical solutions show improvement up to 6% in comparison with the original model, both in terms of convergence rate and in terms of agreement with the available experimental data. With the new modeling suggested in the present work, the significance of both the discretization scheme and the choice of the turbulence modeling is demonstrated for the flows under consideration. The use of a high-order discretization scheme is suggested for more acute areas of the body modeled in order to improve results further.
