Numerical Solution of Supersonic Viscous Flow over Blunt Delta Wings

A general parabolized Navier-Stokes code has been developed to compute the steady supersonic viscous flow around arbitrary body shapes at high angles of attack. A nonorthogonal three-dimensional coordinate frame permits the code to march with solution surfaces which are the most appropriate. The code has been used to calculate the laminar flow over a slab delta wing with 70 deg sweep at angles of attack up to 41.5 deg and Mach numbers of 6.8 and 9.6. The computed shock shapes, surface pressures and heat transfer coefficients are compared with experiment and show agreement.
