model of F-16 aircraft was used to generate computational mesh and subsequent CFD simulations were performed mainly with Fluent ANSYS. During the post processing phase of the CFD results, the aerodynamic characteristics of the F-16 have been predicted in terms of.
“ The mathematical model given here uses the wind-tunnel data from NASA-Langley wind-tunnel tests on a scale model of an F-16 airplane. The data apply to the speed range up to about Mach=0.6, and were used in a MASA-piloted simulation to study the maneuvering and stall/post-stall characteristics of a relaxed static-stability airplane.”, The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,600 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. …
4/21/04 6 Aerodynamic Configuration • Relaxed Static Stability – Increases lift-to-drag ratios at subsonic and supersonic speeds – Reduces down-load on the horizontal tail required to trim at high lift coefficients and at supersonic speeds • Increases total lift available at sustained-turn conditions (2% at subsonic cruise, 4-8% at M = 0.9, and 8-15% at M = 1.2), 11/5/2007 · F-16 fuselage with a new wing and blended forebody strake. The wing planform is a clipped delta with a … were compared with those of the generic wing model to aluateev the aerodynamic e ects of integrating the advanced generic wing planform into a realistic ghter aircraft con guration.
In this section the nonlinear dynamical model of the F-16 aircraft is derived. Mass and geo-metric data are given in Table 2. This derivation is based on [Blakelock, 1991], [Cook, 1997] and [Lewis and Stevens, 1992]. The course notes [Mulder et al.
2000] are also recommended for a very detailed ?ight dynamics analysis. 1.1 Reference Frames, A generic F-16 model with AIM120 on wing tips at 0° angle of attack is analyzed using ANSYS Fluent Version 16.2. 3D F-16 model is created by projections using fuselage cross sections and publicly available pictures and sketches. Polyhedral mesh is used with 8.395.031 cells. Surface grid is kept as tetrahedral. Polyhedral mesh has, 12/23/2009 · ViperFab, You happen to be in luck (I think). There is a pretty good amount of ‘official’ data on the F-16’s aerodynamics , stability and control from a flight control system standpoint, and very specific information on the deep stall phenomenon.
