Abstract

To enhance hypersonic aerodynamic testing technology especially for reentering vehicles through developing understanding about the hypersonic wind tunnel nozzle flow which affects a lot estimation error to the flight characteristics and through defining the ability in predicting RCS jet interaction.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System

Since it perfectly suits the requirement in calculating heavy RCS jet interaction flow field and the hypersonic nozzle flow. Useful tools such as FaSTAR is another.

Achievements of the Year

Flow inside JAXA 1.27m hypersonic wind tunnel was solved numerically. The causes for the variation of dynamic pressure at the nozzle exit, which was observed in the experiments, were investigated numerically. Two factors were predicted as a candidate of the cause. One is the wall temperature upsream of the cooled nozzle throat block, as shown in Fig.1. The other is the inflow from the downstream of the settling chamber, as shown in Fig.2. The magnitude of the dynamic pressure variation was comparable between experiment and CFD.
