Parameterized Supersonic Transport Configurations.

Design tools for high speed design aerodynamics are developed using a set of mathematical functions to create curves and surfaces in 3D space, steady or moving for unsteady phenomena, adaptation and optimization. Added is the knowledge base of designing supersonic waveriders by inverse methods. Coupled with fast grid generation, preliminary design variations are studied by an Euler CFD method and analyzed with a powerful interactive visualization tool. The geometry generator is a preprocessor for new developments in CAD methods.
