Numerical Simulation of Maneuvering Combat Aircraft

  • Conference paper
High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering’ 05

Summary

An overview about recent results of the DLR-Project SikMa-“Simulation of Complex Maneuvers” is presented. The objective of the SikMa-Project is to develop a numerical tool to simulate the unsteady aerodynamics of a free flying aeroelastic combat aircraft, by use of coupled aerodynamic, flight-mechanic and aeroelastic computations. To achieve this objective, the unstructured, time accurate flow-solver TAU is coupled with a computational module solving the flight-mechanic equations of motion and a structural mechanics code determining the structural deformations. By use of an overlapping grid technique (chimera), simulations of a complex configuration with movable control-surfaces is possible.
