The two-part workshop will cover both the state-of-the-art for predicting near field sonic boom signatures with CFD as well as propagation of the near field pressures to the ground. Participants are encouraged to apply their best practices for computing solutions for the provided cases. There is particular interest in exploring refinement techniques including grid adaptation and alignment with flow characteristics.

• CFD and propagation test cases will include signatures quieter than those from the 1st workshop in order to better challenge the predictive methods for relevant low boom designs.

• An open unbiased forum intended to discuss results and promote cross-pollination of best practices.

• Open to participants worldwide.
