January Completed the general, flexible boundary condition specification method. Code passed HPC Alpha Test. Finned missiles analyzed as part of international cooperative effort. Grids of up to 2.5 million cells generated by D. Kinsey over the course of 10 days. Viscous solutions for Mach numbers ranging from 1.6 to 2.7 and angles of attack ranging up to 40 are obtained in 15 hours on 32 processors.
Results compare very well with experiment.
Some participants state they had thought such viscous results to be impossible with unstructured grids. February Parallel F90 code made available to interested parties. First User's Class held. F-18C with JDAM and fuel tank stores analyzed. Viscous solutions at Mach 0.96 and 1.05 obtained within 1000 iterations on 32 to 115 processors.
