The overall goal of the project is to obtain a better understanding of complex unsteady effects which are important for fighter aircraft aerodynamics. The simulation data includes systematic studies of the most important parameters and will be benchmarked with available data from literature as well as data from Airbus. After validation a detailed analysis of the data will help gaining a better understanding of the physics involved. Furthermore, the possibility of deriving simplified engineering correlations will be explored. This project will be performed in parallel to the project "Efficient Turbulence Modelling for Vortical Flows from Swept Leading Edges". Henceforth this project will be abbreviated VF (vortex flows), whereas the current project will be referred to as UA (unsteady aerodynamics). Both projects, will use similar simulation technologies, and the same hardware and hence will benefit from synergy effects by the mutual exchange of experience and data. _______________________________________________________________________    «
