Description
Summary:The application of Navier-Stokes methodology to the analysis of Vertical Launching System/missile exhaust plume interactions is discussed. The complex three-dimensional flowfields related to the Vertical Launching System (VLS) are computed utilizing the PARCH/RNP Navier-Stokes code. PARCH/RNP solves the fully-coupled system of fluid, two-equation turbulence (kE) and chemical species equations via the implicit, approximately factored, Beam-Warming algorithm utilizing a block-tridiagonal inversion procedure. Presented at the 30th Aerospace Science Meeting and Exhibit, held in Reno, NV , on 6-9 Jan 1992.
