Abstract
As a series of real flight prediction techniques, we try to develop a basic method which adjusts the parameters of the transition model in CFD analysis from the observed data using the data assimilation technique.
Goal
In order to realize speed-up of the aircraft development, we establish up-to-date basic techniques which can be applied to enhance efficiency of the R&D process for the domestic aircrafts.
Objective
In producing aerodynamic model, we shift the method of aerodynamic prediction from the experimental/empirical to analytic approach and make it possible to predict the real flight condition both precisely and efficiently, and consequently to minimize the risk in the development process of domestic aircraft.

Use of the Supercomputer
To realize the fluid analyses of numerous samples.
Necessity of the Supercomputer
There is no environment to perform the fluid analyses of numerous samples under realistic time.
Achievements of the Year
A highly accurate estimation method of turbulent transition phenomena, which is difficult to measure, by integrating fluid analysis results of large samples and the measurement result of the wind tunnel experiment with the data assimilation technology was proposed. Fig. 1 shows the result of examining the effectiveness of the proposed method by numerical experiment.
