This paper discusses results of the mixed-element USM3D (USM3D-ME) simulations performed for the 4th AIAA High-Lift Prediction Workshop. The workshop was separated into six Technical Focus Groups to investigate the impact of geometry modeling, grid, and computational methods for predicting high lift flows. This work was performed under the Fixed Grid RANS Technical Focus Group. The primary geometry selected for the workshop was the High-Lift Common Research Model. The performed simulations included a flap deflection study and both a grid refinement study and pitch sweep for the nominal flap deflection configuration. The results show that USM3D-ME RANS solutions, generally, tends to underpredict the lift coefficient and to predict a less negative pitching moment relative to the experimental data. The predicted drag coefficient values agree better with experiment for smaller angles of attack but were observed to be larger than experiment for the largest angle of attack simulated. The results of the grid refinement study demonstrated a lack of grid convergence for the provided grid family. The results of the grid refinement study are consistent with the submissions to the Fixed Grid and Mesh Adaptation Technical Focus Groups. Grid convergence for the provided grid family remains elusive for the international community. A 2D Multielement Airfoil configuration was included to enable a turbulence model verification study, which illustrated favorable agreement between USM3D-ME and the solutions provided by other flow solvers.
