The CRAFT CFD and CRUNCH CFD codes have been used for a wide variety of missile aeropropulsive simulations. A typical example of supersonic aeropropulsive simulation is shown below for an ADKEM missile with four boosters at a freestream Mach number of 2.5. These calculations typically involve both the accurate prediction of external aerodynamics as well as strongly viscous dominated regions such as the region between the boosters and the base region where turbulence phenomena play a crucial role.
