New Aim-120 Model - Are CFDs Accurate？
As you all may be aware of, ED made a new model about AMRAAM, which heavily involves CFD-based calcuations.
According to their News page,( https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4367841) It seems they are using some code affiliated with Cartesian Mesh.Are there more information about ED performed their CFD approach in their AMRAAM Development, and how accurate are those results?
I've never seen ED posting any verification results regarding to their CFD calcuations, and If I recall correctly, current cartesian codes are usually not well-known for transonic and supersonincs Calcuations , especially in terms of drag estimates.
Or alternatively ED developeds their own in-house CFD code? (I consider that being unlikely)
IASGATG performed his AMRAAM approach in Fluent though.
