ADVANCED SONIC BOOM ANALYSIS USING FULL-FIELD SIMULATION

R. Yamashita, The University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

First-ever direct simulation of sonic boom was successfully performed to clarify sonic boom phenomena that would be difficult to evaluate using existing prediction methods, including sonic boom cutoff phenomena in low supersonic flight and waveform transition of sonic boom in hypersonic flow regimes. In this lecture, the overview of full-field simulation and some simulation results are presented.
