Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was performed under low-speed wind tunnel test conditions using a 29.7% scale model of the NASA common research model. A wind tunnel test was conducted to measure the aerodynamic coefficient of the CRM with Belly sting model support configuration at a low Reynolds number of 0.3×106 and it was compared with the aerodynamic coefficient of CFD analysis. In order to verify the validation of the analysis, a computational analysis under the conditions of the advance research was performed and compared. The interference effect of the Belly sting model support affected not only the fuselage but also the main and tail wings.

A wind tunnel test of 29.7% scaled model of NASA Common Research Model with belly model support was performed in small low speed wind tunnel. The static aerodynamic forces and moments of CRM were measured with belly sting support configuration. Pitching moments of belly sting with various fairings were compared and small interference fairing shape was found. The belly sting model support interference and reducing effect of fairing shapes with CFD analysis.

A wind tunnel test of 29.7% scaled model of NASA Common Research Model was performed in small low speed wind tunnel. The wind tunnel model was fabricated in Aluminium in consultation with NASA Langley Research Center and AIAA Drag Prediction Workshop committee members. The static aerodynamic forces and moments were measured at a relatively low Reynolds number of 0.3 × 10⁶ due to tunnel capability limitations. Pitching moment of three types of model support(Fin sting, Blade sting and Belly sting) were compared. The pitching moment for corrected Belly sting and Fin sting were similar. The result of pitching moment for Blade sting was very small.

Wind tunnel model has some difference in shape compared to the real flight vehicle because of model support system for testing. The support system can make some differences in the measured forces and moments to the flight test data. There are several correction methods involved such as cavity pressure correction and model support interference. Internal balance and belly sting support were used for this wind tunnel test and three types of model support correction methods, variable sting thickness method, dummy sting method, and wire support method, were compared. Variable sting thickness method is well matched with wire support method, which is known for almost interference free.
