Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
There have been many shapes depending on the deformation of ballute with various flight conditions such as Mach number and the tilt angle.
Achievements of the Year
In this year’s analysis, the effects of the deformation of the ballute on the pressure distribution and flow field were investigated. The deformation of the ballute was measured in a wind tunnel experiment, and the deformed shape was created using OpenSCAD, a software program that can create shapes using mathematical formulas. The grid required for the analysis was created using HexaGrid v1.1, and the analysis was performed using FaSTAR. Figure 1 shows the pressure distribution on the ballute surface. The results show that when the deformation is small, the pressure distribution on the ballute surface is almost uniform, whereas when the deformation is large, the pressure distribution changes significantly depending on the surface deformation. It was also confirmed that when shock wave interference occurs, a local pressure increase occurs.
