Abstract

We conduct fundamental research on aerodynamics such as aerodynamic acoustic noise generated by supersonic jet and aerodynamic design of Mars aircraft.

Reasons for using JSS2

Large eddy simulation is required for analysis of aeroacoustics generated from a supersonic jet. Aerodynamic design of Mars airplane requires several hundred cases of CFD computation. Therefore, a supercomputer is necessary.

Achievements of the Year

Aerodynamic airfoil design optimization of flying-wing-type Mars airplane has been conducted. The result show that there is a tradeoff between maximizing lift to drag ratio and improving stability performance. A guideline for airfoil shape design has been also obtained. We also conducted uncertainty quantification of aerodynamic performance of an airfoil in low Reynolds number flow condition.
