TRANSONIC STORE SEPARATION STUDIES ON THE SAAB GRIPEN AIRCRAFT USING COMPUTATIONAL AERODYNAMICS

I. Persson, A. Lindberg
Saab Aerosystems, Sweden

Keywords: store separation, CFD

This paper explores the advantages of using CFD to predict transonic store separations. Separation of MK82LD bombs from the Saab Gripen fighter has been studied. CFD data is fed to a 6-DOF separation model. The agreement between flight tests and the store separation simulation will be shown and discussed.
