Abstract

This work presents the results of systematic calculations of the aerodynamic characteristics of high-speed waverider aircraft based on shock waves generated within a flow around an elliptical or oblique circular cone. The results of numerical simulation are compared with experimental data obtained for different angles of attack and slip. We demonstrate the features of the joint implementation of splitting by physical processes and one of the variants of the AUSM scheme. The results of a computational study carried out using the UST3D computer code and its modifications are compared with third-party calculated data on the aerodynamics of various waverider configurations obtained using structured grids, the Navier–Stokes equations in the thin-layer approximation, and parabolized Navier–Stokes equations.
