To increase the design throughput of complex full aircraft configurations, a method which is both computationally efficient and has minimal setup time is required. This project will develop a new procedure for coupling a cartesian,multigrid Euler code with a second Euler technique using a body-filled mesh. The method, coupled with an iteration scheme, combines the advantages of two different gridding techniques to produce a resulting scheme which will facilitate rapid model setup. The research is aimed at providing a practical Euler method for complete aircraft configurations including nozzle afterbody and inlet integration studies.This novel technique would lead to an improved design capability for complex aircraft, including a faster throughput of design and reduced amount of wind tunnel testing.Euler, multigrid, cartesian, body-fitted, complete aircraftSTATUS: Phase I Only
