Evaluation of the NASA-Ames panel method (PMARC) for aerodynamic missile design

Memory detection and management work the same as in Digital Wing Tunnel. Postmarc incorporates a number of Cmarc procedures, particularly those related to the boundary layer analysis, in order to permit nasaa generation of on- and off-body streamlines and of pressure and velocity maps of the free stream. Cmarc's program screen below allows the user to alter a number of parameters and run conditions without editing the input file.

Batch processes can be scheduled to occur at any future date and time, and batch files can be saved and reused. To this end, PMARC is first assessed by applying it to several problems for which other solutions and experimental data are available, i.

NASA-AMES WingBody Panel Code

Cmarc is a inviscid fluid flow analysis program of the type known as a low-order panel method. The classic NASA program for computing subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics of a wing-body combination has been adapted to run on the PC. Aerodynamic prediction software is often used in the early stages of missile systems designed to quickly and accurately estimate the aerodynamics of a wide variety of missile configuration designs operating over many Aroundthe powerful surface panel codes such as Pmarc and PanAir became available and have today more or less replaced the mean surface codes such as WingBody.

Although the basic analysis is inviscid, a subsequent boundary-layer analysis may be performed along individual streamlines or over the entire surface. Thesis and Dissertation Collection, all items View Item.

Panel codes, like Area Rule are success stories of the early days of computational aerodynamics. Low-order panel methods, in which the calculated coefficient of pressure for each panel is applied uniformly over the entire panel, have been shown to provide virtually the same level of accuracy as higher-order methods, in which pressure gradients are calculated within panels, so long as the meshing of the model is sufficiently dense, particularly in areas of rapidly changing pressure coefficient.

While an inviscid analysis is inherently unable to calculate pressure or "form" drag, iterating over the boundary layer allows Cmarc to predict pressure drag with good accuracy so long as large areas of separated flow are not present. This study reports an analysis of the aerodynamic performance characteristics of an SA-2 type missile conducted using empirical codes. Advisor Platzer, Max F. Only the frictional and lift-induced components of drag can be computed, however, unless the user chooses to use Cmarc's nonlinear option, which incorporates boundary-layer displacement in the iterated solution.

Aerodynamic effects of symmetric and asymmetric Source code is provided at AeroLogic's discretion, and may be modified by the user, but not redistributed. However there is still a tradeoff between the time spent setting up the input for a computational technique versus the accuracy of the method. Metadata Show full item record.

Provided that flow is attached and that large areas of crossflow do not appear, the boundary layer analysis is quite accurate. Some features of this site may not work without it. Cmarc and Pmarc input files are mutually compatible. I have brought parc program back to life for this collection as it has a certain balance of speed, ease of use and pmsrc of applicability that can make it an appropriate method of choice for airplane conceptual design.

Various computational methods and operational computer codes used to predict and evaluate aerodynamic coefficients and flight performance of missile bodies are reviewed.

With Cmarc and Postmarc, it is not necessary to re-run pmadc entire analysis each time new streamlines or velocity scans are desired. Again, encouraging agreement with available experimental data is found provided the wake shedding from the missile body is modeled properly. Pmarc and VSAERO took pmwrc evolutionary paths, but their common ancestry is apparent in the similarity between their input file formats and the results that they produce.
