Abstract

A new method for deriving the components of drag from the CFD solution of an aircraft flowfield, by analysis of its wake, is presented. This method is applied to viscous flow calculations. It is also applied to configurations containing powerplants. The drag values predicted by this method are compared with the values obtained using more traditional methods, and good agreement is demonstrated.
