F 35F-35 Considering Compressible Flow, ANSYS Fluent CFD Simulation Training

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Interestingly, the F-35 speed could reach 500 m/s, which results in supersonic airflow. Therefore, actual case wind tunnel experiments are expensive in terms of both costs and time, so CFD solvers are often employed to evaluate for initial tests.
