Sonic boom CFD near-field analysis of a Mach 5 configuration

S. Graziani

Abstract: The following paper compares experimental results obtained in free flight at Mach 4.7 within the MORE&LESS project of a configuration at Mach 5 with high-fidelity simulations based on CFD and propagation tools. The simulations replicate the flight and environmental conditions of the test days, and the CFD approach is based on dedicated workshops by NASA for accurate near-field study. Measurements are compared with CIRA acoustic microphones and contains four different stations positioned at a maximum of ten meters from the centreline of the trajectory.
