Numerical Research of Airframe/Engine Integrative Hypersonic Vehicle

چکیده
Hypersonic airbreathing vehicles are characterized by highly-integrated airframe and propulsion system. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools have been used extensively in the design and analysis phrase of hypersonic vehicles. In this paper, an engineering method and a finite volume method based on the center of grid are developed for preliminary research of interested integrative hypersonic vehicles with waverider configurations (cone-shaped or canard structure). Some longitudinal aerodynamic performance increments are obtained under conditions of shut-down engine or working engine. For the vehicle with canard structure, in order to study the lateral-directional stability characteristics, we also consider the influence of yaw angle on the flow field of fore-body.

1 Effect of Aeropropulsive Interactions and Design Sensitivities on Optimal Hypersonic Ascent Trajectories
Hypersonic vehicles with single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) capability present a major design challenge. Such vehicles reflect highly integrated airframe and propulsion systems and are also known to exhibit a large degree of interaction between the airframe and engine dynamics. Consequently, even simplified hypersonic models are characterized by tightly coupled nonlinear equations of motion. The vehi...
