This article discusses a wake integration technique for accurate drag prediction applied to results by RANS CFD flow simulation. At first, the concept of wake integration is reviewed and the process of a momentum balance approach to lead a primitive wake integration formula is investigated. The formula is applied to several configurations, including a wing in subsonic flow, a wing in transonic flow and NASA-CRM wing-fuselage in transonic flow. Drag values are obtained by using two techniques, one is the wake integration and the other is the near field method which has been commonly used standard one for CFD drag calculation. At the present, the latter method is thought to be more reliable, so the accuracy of drag coefficient by the wake integration is evaluated by comparing them with the one calculated by the near field method. We have found the accuracy of drag calculated by wake integration is related to various aspects, including an axial position of downstream wake plane, a grid type, a grid density, a flow regime, and boundary locations.
