MGAERO is a 3-D Euler method for computing flow about arbitrary configurations in the subsonic through supersonic flight regimes. The technique uses a multigrid approach with an equally spaced Cartesian mesh structure. Swept, unswept, or rotated grids are used to develop local computational domains, which can be overlapped with either the surface or other multigrid levels. The ease of geometry and grid input allows for rapid turnaround of results on complete aircraft including nacelles. Coupling of an integral boundary layer method on surface streamlines allows prediction of viscous effects.
