Aiaa 2002-5547 Sonic Boom Reduction Using an Adjoint Method for Wing-body Configurations in Supersonic Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an adjoint method for the calculation of remote sensitivities in supersonic flow. The goal is to develop a set of adjoint equations and their corresponding boundary conditions in order to quantify the influence of geometry modifications on the pressure distribution at an arbitrary location within the domain of interest. First, this paper presents the formulation and discretization of the adjoint equations. The special treatment of the adjoint boundary condition to obtain remote sensitivities is also discussed. Second, we present results that demonstrate the application of the theory to a three-dimensional remote inverse design problem using a low sweep biconvex wing and a supersonic business jet wing-body configuration.

This paper describes the work carried out within the Stanford University group as part of the DARPA-funded Quiet Supersonic Platform (QSP) project. The objective of our work was to develop advanced numerical methods to facilitate the analysis and design of low sonic boom aircraft. The focus of the boom reduction activities was placed on two main ideas: the shaping of the configuration and a mul...
متن کاملNumerical and Mesh Resolution Requirements for Accurate Sonic Boom Prediction of Complete Aircraft Configurations
A careful study is conducted to assess the numerical mesh resolution requirements for the accurate computation of sonic boom ground signatures produced by complete aircraft configurations. The details of the ground signature can depend heavily on the accurate prediction of the pressure distribution in the near-field of the aircraft. It is, therefore, important to accurately describe the geometr...

This paper first describes the numerical simulation and shape optimization of the Lockheed SEEB-ALR and 69 Degree Delta Wing-Body for computing the sonic boom signature in the nearfield and its minimization using a genetic algorithm. Then the propagation of sonic boom in the atmosphere is simulated all the way to the ground for both the original and optimized body shapes. For flow field calcula...
متن کاملOutput-Adaptive Tetrahedral Cut-Cell Validation for Sonic Boom Prediction
A cut-cell approach to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that utilizes the median dual of a tetrahedral background grid is described. The discrete adjoint is also calculated, which permits adaptation based on improving the calculation of a specified output (off-body pressure signature) in supersonic inviscid flow. These predicted signatures are compared to wind tunnel measurements on and off t...
