A simulation scheme is proposed for flowfield and radiation analysis of solid rocket exhaust plumes at high altitude. Several recently developed numerical procedures are used to determine properties of the gas and condensed phase Al2O3 particles, and spectrally resolved plume radiation calculations are performed using a Monte Carlo ray trace model. Simulations are run for a representative plume...

A two-point second-order uniform box scheme and effective regularization algorithm have been developed for numerical analysis of the gas flow in the boundary layer (BL) and thin viscous shock layers (TVSL) under conditions of intensive blowing on the body surface and chemical reactions. Flowfield parameters in the boundary layer near the stagnation point of a blunt body were calculated for vari...
