Anisotropic Mach Cone Aligned Mesh Adaptation for Low Boom Simulations

An automated off-body Mach cone aligned structured curvilinear grid generation procedure is presented for near-field computational fluid dynamics simulations. This procedure combines output-based indicators and mesh redistribution to perform anisotropic mesh adaptation while maintaining Mach cone alignment. Automation is achieved through a novel direction-based adaptation indicator formulation. The adaptation procedure is demonstrated on the JAXA Wing Body geometry and X-59 C608 demonstrator model from the Second and Third AIAA Sonic Boom Prediction Workshops, respectively. It is demonstrated that anisotropic mesh adaptation may result in a greater than fifty percent reduction in resource usage required to achieve the same level of accuracy as uniform and user constructed Mach cone aligned grids for near-field pressure signatures, ground-level overpressure signatures, and loudness metrics.

Experimental and Computational Study of the X-59 Wind Tunnel Model at Glenn Research Center 8- by 6-foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel

The Commercial Supersonics Technology (CST) Project under the NASA Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) focuses on developing technologies for enabling designs of future commercial supersonic aircraft. Many different technology areas are being addressed, such as designing airframes for better efficiency, improving engine integration for minimizing noise, maximizing combustion efficiency, and reducing high-altitude emissions, but the greatest emphasis has been on understanding the contributions to sonic boom loudness and learning how to shape the airframe and integrate the engine(s) such that the boom noise is minimized.
