The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) has been applying a Government-developed, productivity-oriented, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology to the aerodynamic design of Army missiles. This methodology, dubbed Enter Tunnel Analysis (ETA), uses a robust Euler solver and automated grid generation software to drastically reduce the time required to set up and execute flow field computations. ETA is described and applied to two hypervelocity missile configurations; one using a bent nose for aerodynamic control and the other using traditional canards. Comparisons are made with wind tunnel data to assess ETA's ability to produce meaningful results for use by aerodynamic designers.
