An overview of the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics Methods during the design and development of the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 is presented. A description of the methods is provided, as well as a rationale for their selection as appropriate for project design applications. Selected applications of the CFD methods to the YF-23 design are presented. Computed results are validated with test data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
