Popis: A series of computations solving the Euler equations that model the flowfield produced by the F-15E aircraft flying at a Mach number of 0.98 has been completed. Three configurations were simulated. The most complex configuration consisted of a wing-body combination with an ingesting inlet, pylon system, a targeting pod with pylon, and a finned store in carriage position. This required 29 grids and subgrids with a total of 1.2 x 10 6 mesh points. Results generally compared favorably with wind-tunnel measurements of surface pressure and with a cone-probe survey of the pressure field proximate to the store carriage position. The trajectory of the finned store was well predicted.
