Drag Coefficient Standard Deviation • Method • Create a randomizer that produces random values of angle of attack from 0-10 degrees • Fed angles of attack into Cd code to obtain values for Cd • Cd code created by Jayme Zott • Entered values for Cd into Excel to calculate standard deviation with standard deviation function AAE 450 Spring 2008 Aerothermodynamics
Drag Std Dev=13.29% Close to Vanguard drag std. dev. (Drag=10%) Appendix p. A-4, Table A-1. Found that CMARC can only handle flows up to M=0.9 CMARC being dropped as CFD method Results CMARC Update Future Work • Run final design configurations in working Fluent model and write report sections AAE 450 Spring 2008 Aerothermodynamics
