Side Jet Aerodynamic Interaction on a Blunt Body in Hypersonic Flow.

Laminar and Turbulent Aero Heating Predictions over Blunt Body in Hypersonic Flow

In the present work, an engineering method is developed to predict laminar and turbulent heating-rate solutions for blunt reentry spacecraft at hypersonic conditions. The calculation of aerodynamic heating around blunt bodies requires alternative solution of inviscid flow field around the hypersonic bodies. In this paper, the procedure is of an inverse nature, that is, a shock wave is assumed a...

Chemical and Vibrational Nonequilibrium Hypersonic Viscous Flow around an Axisymmetric Blunt Body

Abstract—Hypersonic flows around spatial vehicles during their reentry phase in planetary atmospheres are characterized by intense aerothermodynamics phenomena. The aim of this work is to analyze high temperature flows around an axisymmetric blunt body taking into account chemical and vibrational non-equilibrium for air mixture species and the no slip condition at the wall. For this purpose, th...

Hypersonic 3-D Blunt Body Equilibrium Air Flow Using High Order WENO Schemes II

We present simulations of Mach 12, 3D, hypersonic turbulent flows of air around blunt bodies with applied magnetic fields of various strengths. We use the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model. The air is heated by a shock that can change its thermodynamic properties. We treat the air as a real gas in thermodynamic equilibrium. Due to the high temperature the thermodynamic properties of the air are af...
