Abstract
Aerodynamic characteristics of a fundamental wing-body configuration model was analyzed by CFD to compare with High-Reynolds number wind tunnel data conducted in JAXA’s TWT2.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
JSS3 was used to conduct AoA sweep CFDs of 3-dimansional model. Its abilitiers of parallel processing and many CFD cases wwere neccesary to conduct CFD in this research.
Achievements of the Year
We evaluated the effects of wall interference in wind tunnel tests using a fundamental wing-body model. It was confirmed that the stall angle decreases due to flow field interference with the wind tunnel side walls (walls in the span direction).

Fig.1: CL-AoA characteristics of fundamental wing-body model: Stall angle of attack had a difference of about 0.5 degrees whether there is a wind tunnel wall or not. The results with side walls were closer to the experimental results.
