Numerical Prediction of the Interference Drag of a Streamlined Strut Intersecting a Surface in Transonic Flow

In transonic flow, the aerodynamic interference that occurs on a strut-braced wing airplane, pylons, and other applications is significant. The purpose of this work is to provide relationships to estimate the interference drag of wing-strut, wing-pylon, and wing-body arrangements. Those equations ar...
