Numerical Computation of Complex Multi-body Compressible Navier-Stokes Flows with Applications for the Integrated Space Shuttle Vehicle
نویسنده
چکیده
An enhanced grid system for the Orbiter was built by integrating CAD definitions from several sources and then generating the surface and volume grids. The new grid system contains geometric components not modelled previously plus significant enhancements on geometry that has been modelled in the old grid system. The new Orbiter grids were then integrated with new grids for the rest of the launch vehicle. Enhancements were made to the hyperbolic grid generator HYPGEN and new tools for grid projection, manipulation and modification, Cartesian box grid and far field grid generation and post-processing of flow solver data were developed.

AIAA 2003-3979 Algorithmic Enhancements to the VULCAN Navier-Stokes Solver
VULCAN (Viscous Upwind aLgorithm for Complex flow ANalysis) is a cell centered, finite volume code used to solve high speed flows related to hypersonic vehicles. Two algorithms are presented for expanding the range of applications of the current Navier-Stokes solver implemented in VULCAN. The first addition is a highly implicit approach that uses subiterations to enhance block to block connecti...
متن کاملScientific Flow Field Simulation of Cruciform Missiles Through the Thin Layer Navier Stokes Equations
The thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two complete missile configurations on an IBM 3090-200 vectro-facility supercomputer. The conservation form of the three-dimensional equations, written in generalized coordinates, are finite differenced and solved on a body-fitted curvilinear grid system developed in conjunction with the flowfield solver. The numerical procedure is based on ...
متن کاملA Modified Flux Vector Splitting Scheme for Flow Analysis in Shock Wave Laminar Boundary Layer Interactions
The present work introduces a modified scheme for the solution of compressible 2-D full Navier-Stokes equations, using Flux Vector Splitting method. As a result of this modification, numerical diffusion is reduced. The computer code which is developed based on this algorithm can be used easily and accurately to analyze complex flow fields with discontinuity in properties, in cases such as shock...
