Application of USM3D for sonic boom prediction by utilizing a hybrid procedure [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The application of USM3D, an unstructured flow solver, to predict sonic boom by using a hybrid computational fluid dynamics procedure on four configurations is presented. The first configuration is a generic wing-body-vertical. The second and third configurations are the Quiet Spike™, which is patented by Gulfstream, attached to equivalent area distributions. The fourth configuration is NASA's F15 with the Quiet Spike attached. Computations on the wing-body-vertical are compared to computational data from a structured flow solver. Computations on the Quiet Spike are compared to wind tunnel tests conducted at NASA Langley Research Center and computational data from a structured flow solver. Computations on the F-15 with the Quiet Spike are compared to flight test data obtained at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. Results indicate that USM3D is a capable code to be used in a hybrid procedure for predicting sonic boom. Copyright © 2008 by Gulfstream Aeropace Corporation.
