RECTANGULAR CAVITY FLOWFIELD EFFECTS ON STORES IN THE SHEAR LAYER
A. Cenko, AIWS, United States; G. Akroyd, Akroyd Aeronautics, Australia
In the late 1980 the US Air Force conducted a series of store separation wind tunnel tests from a generic cavity. The US Navy conducted a separate test distinguished by using horizontal traverses (rather than vertical) to examine the effects of the cavity flowfield on a bomb in the shear layer. This paper will describe the ability of CFD to match the wind tunnel test data.
