Aerodynamics of powered missile separation from a wingA 3D dynamic 'chimera' algorithm that solves the thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations over multiple moving bodies was modified to numerically simulate the aerodynamics, missile dynamics, and missile plume of a finless missile separating from a wing in transonic flow. A powered missile separation case was considered to examine the influence of the missile and plume on the wing. The wing and missile is at a two degree angle of attack. The computational results show the details of the flow field.
