2nd AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop

To build on the results of the 1st Drag Prediction Workshop by investigating incremental drag as well as total drag.
To assess the state-of-the-art computational methods as practical aerodynamic tools for aircraft force and moment prediction of increasingly complex geometries.
To provide an impartial forum for evaluating the effectiveness of existing computer codes and modeling techniques using Navier-Stokes solvers.
To identify areas needing additional research and development.

The focus of this workshop will be on drag prediction accuracy and component drag increments. The DLR-F6 model has been chosen to compare a transport configuration with nacelles on and off. The interference drag as well as the prediction of the drag polar and drag rise will be particularly emphasized.
A statistical framework will be used to assess the results.
