Abstract
In ComFliTe, a lot of work has been carried out to improve the multi-disciplinary simulation of free flying aircraft relying on highfidelity methods. To enable the simulation of gust encounter situations, techniques for the modeling of atmospheric effects have been implemented in the CFD solver TAU. To take into account the reaction of the aircraft due to additional air-loads created, e.g., by gusts or control surface movement, TAU has been coupled to a flight mechanics module. Enhanced techniques for the handling of movable control-surfaces have been developed, to improve the simulation of aircraft maneuver. Within this paper selected applications are described demonstrating the new capabilities of the multi-disciplinary simulation environment developed in ComFliTe. As highlight, the gust encounter simulation of a full Airbus A340 configuration and the maneuver of a generic fighter aircraft is presented.
