Abstract
For deleveopment of future sample return capsule, we applied the hyperbolic contours to design the front shape of the capsue. To find the optimal shape of the capsule, we perfomed CFD analyses.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
There have been many shapes depending on the parameter for hyperbolic curves with various flight conditions such as Mach number and AoA.
Achievements of the Year
In this fiscal year, aerodynamic characteristics of a hyperbolic re-entry capsule in the transonic region were investigated by wind tunnel experiments and numerical fluid dynamics analysis. The JSS version of FaSTAR was used for the analysis, and HexaGrid v1.2.1 was used for grid generation. In the transonic region, the shock wave formed in front of the capsule becomes bow-shaped and is strongly reflected in the flow path in the wind tunnel. In order to reproduce this phenomenon, a dense computational grid was created over almost the entire computational domain, and an analysis was performed taking into account reflections at the walls. As a result, it was possible to qualitatively reproduce the shock wave formed in the front and the shock wave reflected in the flow path in the wind tunnel.
