Purpose

Provide specialized hypersonic vehicle aerodynamic and thermal analysis capabilities including real gas effects, aerodynamic heating, and thermal protection system design.

Capabilities

  • High-temperature gas dynamics
  • Real gas effects modeling
  • Aerodynamic heating prediction
  • Thermal protection system sizing
  • Shock-boundary layer interaction
  • Ablation modeling
  • Transition prediction (hypersonic)
  • Chemically reacting flow analysis

Usage Guidelines

  • Account for real gas and chemical non-equilibrium effects
  • Use appropriate turbulence models for hypersonic boundary layers
  • Predict transition location and heating augmentation
  • Size TPS with adequate margins for heating uncertainty
  • Consider ablation effects on aerodynamic shape
  • Validate predictions against ground test data where available

Dependencies

  • High-fidelity CFD codes
  • Real-gas models
  • Thermal protection system design tools

Process Integration

  • AE-001: CFD Analysis Workflow (hypersonic regime)
  • Advanced hypersonic vehicle design processes
