The Drag Prediction Workshop series is an extensive international effort to improve transonic aerodynamic predictions. This long-running collaborative effort seeks to mobilize the international aerospace community to improve the computational methods and tools to predict transonic aircraft performance, particularly drag.<\/p>\n
More details on the workshop can be found at the workshop website: https:\/\/www.aiaa-dpw.org<\/a><\/p>\n NASA has a storied history with the workshop series from DPW-I (hosted in 2001) through the upcoming DPW-8, held in concert with Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop 4. In addition to code and methods improvements, the series also resulted in the NASA\/Boeing Common Research Model (https:\/\/commonresearchmodel.larc.nasa.gov\/<\/a>), an open-access, commercially-relevant aircraft geometry. This geometry has been extensively tested in many facilities throughout the world and been the subject of multiple workshop series.<\/p>\n NASA’s contributions to the upcoming DPW-8 and subsequent work will be highlighted on this page.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
