Abstract
It is known that atmospheric entry capsules exhibit dynamic instability during transonic to subsonic flight due to unsteadiness of wake dynamics. And, the possibility in which the fluid phenomenon of the specific frequency affects the dynamic instability is indicated. To investigate the wake dynamics, we numerically simulated flowfield around the normal flat plate, and we applied dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to the obtained unsteady flowfield data.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
Large calculation cost is required to simulate unsteady flow fields.
Achievements of the Year
A DMD analysis was performed on the numerical results for a normal flat plate at M=0.2. Figure 1 shows the collapse of the spanwise vortex at low frequencies obtained from the DMD. The wavelength of the spanwise unsteadiness is shown in Figure 2, and the characteristic structure of the low-frequency fluid phenomenon is extracted.
