Abstract

HPCMP CREATE™-AVKestrel component COFFE is utilized to compute, with higher-order accuracy, the compressible flow-field surrounding ONERA M6 wing and NASA High-Lift Common Research Model (HLCRM) multi-element wing and fuselage geometries using quadratically curved tetrahedral elements. Furthermore, manufactured solutions verify that COFFE achieves the expected order of accuracy while providing confidence that the software is free of major implementation bugs. Quadratic tetrahedral meshes for the 3-D configurations are generated by Pointwise, Inc, and a robust mesh curving process is discussed. For both the ONERA M6 and HL-CRM configurations, COFFE produces converged, steady-state flow solutions on series of linear and quadratic meshes. These solutions highlight the capability of Pointwise, Inc. and COFFE to robustly generate higher-order meshes and solutions for real-world aircraft configurations.
