Computational methods solving the thin shear layer formulation of the compressible, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are presently used to investigate the strongly interactive flow field about aircraft afterbodies. Solutions for a variety of axisymmetric afterbody and nozzle geometries are solved by means of a time-dependent implicit numerical algorithm for both subsonic and supersonic external flows, and the results obtained are compared with experimental data. A novel adaptive-grid technique is used to resolve flow regimes having large gradients, as well as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the computational scheme.
