Application of Modified Newton Flow Model to Earth Reentry Capsules
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents an implementation of the modified Newton method for the aerodynamic analysis of Planetary Reentry Capsules. A straightforward method is employed, such that a CATIA model and its hybrid surface mesh are used as input. Reference capsules are analyzed and results are compared to other similar codes. Future improvements of the code consider the Busemann correction of the wall pressure, heat flux evaluation and unsteadiness in order to enable the analysis of the hypersonic portion of trajectory and to assess the vehicle’s stability.

Investigation on Characterizing Heated Pulsating Flows with Hot Wire Anemometers - A Hands-On Approach
The pulsating heated flows are traditionally a difficult subject to treat with conventional hot wire or film methods. Special factors that complicate matters are flow reversal and non linear flow effects of vortices and...
Estimation of Wind Tunnel Corrections Using Potential Models
The evaluation of the tunnel correction remains an actual problem, especially for the effect of tunnel walls. Even if the experimental campaign meets the basic similitude criteria (Mach, Reynolds etc.), the wall effect o...
Unexpected Properties of the Propagations Generated by Some Time Harmonic Perturbations in a 2D Infinitely Long Straight Duct Satisfying Different Types of Boundary Conditions
In this paper the propagation, generated by some explicit permanent time harmonic perturbations are presented, in a 2D straight duct, carrying a constant gas flow. The amplitude of the perturbations is not that given by...
