Abstract

The solution of 3D transient aerodynamic flows of practical interest is obtained by a finite volume approach, implemented on unstructured tetrahedral and unstructured hybrid meshes. The time discretised equation systems are solved by explicit iteration coupled with multigrid acceleration and the procedure is parallelised for improved computational performance. The examples presented involve an inviscid simulation of store release from a complete aircraft configuration and a viscous simulation of flow over an oscillating wing.
