Flow Modeling of Projectile Using an Overset Flow Solver

Abstract

This paper discusses details regarding our implementation of an overset mesh package into our parallel compressible flow code, CaMEL Aero for complex and moving body problems. The flow code is based on cell-centered finite volume formulation of the conservative Navier-Stokes equations using hybrid unstructured mesh topology with Detached Eddy Simulation for the turbulence modeling. We implemented SUGGAR/DiRTlib package for the overset mesh processing and operations. We tested our implementation with flow problem around a projectile. Parallel performance of our flow solver with overset on our parallel clusters is also presented.
