Opis

Supersonic travel can significantly save time andcost with non stop flight from the USA to countriesin Asia, Europe and Japan. It is understood that thedevelopment of high speed supersonic jets isincreasingly demanded in the commercial and militarysectors. Supersonic travel over land would be areality only if new aircraft''s are designed such thatthey produce quieter ground sonic booms. Designersare compelled to work on CFD modeling and aerodynamicshape optimization so that they can address the boomconstrained imposed by the FAA while not degradingthe aerodynamic performance. The computational toolsthat can predict sonic boom focusing effect with muchhigher accuracy are in great demand for supersonictransport aircraft research. Research interests forthe current work is to develop computational methodsto predict sonic boom focusing effects and carry outthe parametric studies. In the current work a shapeoptimization study is also carried out for mitigatingthe sonic boom ground signature. The book will thusprovide important reading for scientist, researchscholars and students with an interest in supersonictransport aircraft research, design and development.
