Abstract
Rapid evaluation of aerodynamic forces is a key technology in conceptual and preliminary performance assessment and design optimization for supersonic/hypersonic vehicles, which is expected to achieve a balance between accuracy and time. In this paper, the preliminary evaluation platform of aerodynamic forces is built based on the physical theories and engineering methods. This platform computes the local velocity vector by using the streamline tracing technology, and extracts the pressure and friction coefficients by calling methods in method database. Furthermore, an example based on HL-20 is brought out. A good agreement is obtained by comparing the calculated results via CFD with the experimental. Also, a good angle of attack compatibility of streamline tracing technology is concluded. This platform has a computation time less than that via CFD and an flight range greater than that via wind tunnel. Finally, the simple flight dynamics simulation is taken out and the synergetic process is verified.
