Navier-Stokes code NS3D for blunt bodies: Part 1, Analysis, results, and verification

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5228327

A Navier-Stokes code for calculating the laminar or turbulent flow over blunt bodies in supersonic flow has been developed from a transonic flow code. The unsteady thin-layer form of the governing equations for a perfect gas are solved with a linearized block Alternating-Direction Implicit finite-difference solution procedure. Sensitivity of the solutions to code input parameters is investigated. Predictions obtained from the code are presented and compared to numerical and experimental results. This study indicates that very accurate surface pressures and reasonably accurate heat transfer predictions are obtained from the code. 20 refs., 34 figs., 6 tabs.
