Sonic boom prediction and minimization using computational fluid dynamicsThis paper describes the NASA ARC program in sonic boom prediction methodologies. This activity supports NASA's High Speed Research Program (HSRP). An overview of the program, recent results, conclusions, and current effort will be given. This effort complements research in sonic boom acceptability and validation being conducted at LaRC and ARC. The goals of the sonic boom element are as follows: to establish a predictive capability for sonic booms generated by High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) concepts; to establish guidelines of acceptability for supersonic overland flight; and to validate these findings with wind tunnel and flight tests. The cumulative result of these efforts will be an assessment of economic viability for supersonic transportation. This determination will ultimately be made by the aerospace industry.
