The NASA USM3D flow solver was used to compute test cases for the Third AIAA Sonic Boom Prediction Workshop (SBPW3). The test cases include a nearfield biconvex shock-plume interaction wind tunnel model, and the C608 Low Boom Flight Demonstrator. Numerical simulations were conducted on the mixed-element and tetrahedral grids provided by the workshop committee, as well as a family of grids generated by an in-house approach for sonic boom analyses known as BoomGrid. The near-field pressure signatures were extracted, propagated to the ground and the perceived loudness levels on the ground were computed. The USM3D near-field pressure signatures, corresponding ground signatures, and loudness levels on the ground are compared with that of mean values from other workshop participants. The effect of three flux-limiters on the accuracy of near-field pressure signatures prediction was investigated and results are compared with that of mean values from other workshop participants. The effect of using wall function grids in accurately predicting near-field pressure signatures was also evaluated.
