https://doi.org/10.2514/1.J063425 Abstract: We present a methodology to predict the aerodynamic near-field and sonic boom signature from slender bodies and waveriders using a fully parabolized approach. We solve the parabolized Navier–Stokes equations, which are integrated via spatial marching in the streamwise direction. We find that unique physics must be accounted for in the hypersonic regime relative …

Analytical Closed-Form Solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations for the Aerodynamic Near-field and Sonic Boom from Axisymmetric Bodies
I completed my Acoustical Society work and returned to the United States. Abstract: An analytical closed-form solution is presented for the aerodynamic near-field and ground signature from an axisymmetric body with a low thickness ratio. The Navier-Stokes equations are formulated as a boundary value problem that incorporates the incoming ambient flow-field and the aerodynamic properties …
Split-Step Simulations to Assess the Effects of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence on the Dose Variability of N-Waves and Shaped Booms
My former student, Dr. Alex Carr, along with Dr. J. Lonzaga, who are both of NASA Langley Research Center, and myself published an article on the propagation of sonic boom through the turbulent atmosphere. Abstract: The effects of atmospheric boundary layer turbulence on the loudness variability of a sonic boom N-wave and shaped boom are …

The NASA X-59 at AIAA SciTech 2023
Acoustical Society of America – December 2022
This year my research group had a good showing at the Acoustical Society of America, Dec. 2022. I was happy to give a 20 minute talk myself on jet and rocket coherence and loading. My student, Dr. Alex Carr, who is now a Research Aerospace Engineering at NASA reported on his sonic boom predictions. My …
