Numerical Simulation of Supersonic Turbulent Flow Over Bodies of Revolution Including the Base, Using Multiblock Grid

A turbulent supersonic flow over bodies of revolution, including the base flow, is investigated using multiblock grid to solve the thin layer Navier-Stokes (TLNS) equations. Patched method has been used near the interfaces. Our numerical scheme was implicit Beam-Warming centeral differencing, while Baldwin-Lomax turbulence modeling was used to close the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The results of this work have been compared with existing computational and experimental benchmark data and shows close agreements.
