Abstract
The possible influence of fastening the models on a side pylon at their tests in wind tunnels on their aerodynamics at supersonic flow speeds has been considered. The physical problem of the pylon and the model interference has been investigated, and the estimates of the pylon influence on integral aerodynamic characteristics have been obtained. The numerical computations of the flow have been done using the averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the SST k-ω turbulence
model in the range of freestream Mach numbers М = 2.5–5. As the investigation
object the “classical” body of revolution of large aspect ratio is considered,
which has a cruciform forward fins and six-blade tail stabilizers.
