| Research Abstract |
"Numerical Airplane" and "Numerical Vehicle", which are unified simulation systems of fluid dynamics and flight dynamics, have been constructed. As a basic method of approach," Moving Computational Domain(MCD)"method was proposed in this study. The MCD method is able to simulate a flow field around flying airplane without a limitation of the size of computational region by translating computational domain itself according to the motion of the airplane inside. A whole of flight, from taking-off to climbing, cruising, banked-turn, descending and finally landing, has been completely and continuously simulated in this study. The weak-coupled interaction between fluid dynamics and flight dynamics has been applied in this unified fluid/flight dynamics simulation.
