Abstract

The development of Partial-Pressure Field theory, ("Drag Decomposition Using Partial-Pressure Fields in the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations", AIAA Journal, Vol. 57, No. 5, 2019, pp. 2030-2038), and the application of the theoretical concept to conditions relevant to commercial transport aircraft, operating in both the subsonic and transonic regime, ("Application of Partial-Pressure Field Drag Decomposition to the ONERA M6 Wing", Vol. 60, No. 5, 2022 pp. 2941-2951), has shown promise as a complement to classical far-field methods within computational fluid dynamics. In the present work, the NASA Common Research Model is simulated under transonic flow conditions to demonstrate the applicability of partial-pressure fields to drag decomposition of full aircraft configurations, with results of the near-field drag decomposition compared to classical far-field methods.
