Report Number: R16E0009 Responsible Representative: Shigeru Hamamoto(Aeronautical Technology Directorate, Aerodynamics Research Unit) Contact Information: Hajime Miki(miki.hajime@jaxa.jp) Members: Hajime Miki, Kie Okabayashi, Yoshiki Takama, Keisuke Fujii Subject Category: Space(Space transportation) Abstract JAXA progresses research and development on lifting re-entry capsule as a return procedure for manned space activity. In atmospheric re-entry, gas jets emitted from reaction control system (RCS) interact with external flow around a capsule aero-thermodynamically. In order to predict its influence on capsule's aerodynamic and aerodynamic heating, RCS jet・・・<<read more>>
Report Number: R16E0008 Responsible Representative: Shigeru Hamamoto(Aeronautical Technology Directorate, Aerodynamics Research Unit) Contact Information: Toshiyuki Suzuki(suzuki.toshiyuki@jaxa.jp) Members: Adrien Lemal, Toshiyuki Suzuki, Takashi Ozawa, Toru Yamada, Yuuto Higuchi Subject Category: Basic Research(Numerical analysis,Modeling,CFD,other ) Abstract In this study, we try to enhance the physical model for high temperature gas and numerical simulation method to accurately predict the heating and aerodynamic characteristics at the hypersonic atmospheric entry. We aim to realize high fidelity simulation tool by demonstrating the accuracy of the prediction・・・<<read more>>
Report Number: R16E0006 Responsible Representative: Toshiya Nakamura(Aeronautical Technology Directorate, Next Generation Aeronautical Innovation Hub Center) Contact Information: Kazuaki Matsuura(matsuura.kazuaki@jaxa.jp) Members: Kazuaki Matsuura, Mitsumasa Makida, Hideshi Yamada, Yoji Kurosawa, Naoki Nakamura, Jun Iino, Huilai Zhang Subject Category: Aviation(Aircraft engine) Abstract Since the atomization process occurs in the narrow region which is vicinity of the injection outlet in a practical geometry fuel injector, it is difficult to understand the atomization phenomena only by experiment. The objective of this work is to understand・・・<<read more>>
