Modeling of hypersonic aerothermodynamics in non-equilibrium flow is a challenging problem of aircraft design. Especially, prediction of atmospheric reentry and other planet’s entry heat loads are significant for aerospace vehicle design engineers. Therefore, accurate calculation of heat flux of leading edges and nose tips are the main concerns of thermal design engineers. The present study aims to simulate hypersonic entry conditions of Mars and Earth for the Mars Pathfinder experimental capsule with using SU2 NonEquilibrium MOdeling (NEMO) [1] solver, which is the recent enhanced version of SU2 Multiphysics software to model reacting flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium. The solver is coupled with Mutation++ (Multicomponent Thermodynamic and Transport properties for IONized gases in C++) library that provides the needed thermochemical properties of the air and carbon dioxide mixture chemistry models. Five species air model is used for air and eight species carbon dioxide mixture model is used for modeling Mars atmosphere. Axisymmetrical model is used for the accurate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and boundary conditions are taken from experimental study of Hollis [2]. Turbulence is not modeled since the physics of the flow can be approximated as laminar under the defined conditions. Both atmospheric reentry and Mars entry are modeled, and accurate modeling effects of species dissociation is investigated. Results show that the surface heat flux distribution agreed with the experimental data and species dissociation has comparable behavior with previous studies. This work illustrates that SU2-NEMO open source CFD solver is capable of modeling hypersonic flows of different mixtures in thermochemical non-equilibrium, including atmospheric reentry and Mars entry.Index Terms— nonequilibrium flows, hypersonic flows, aerothermodynamics, computational fluid dynamics

Numerical simulation of lateral jets in supersonic crossflow of missiles using computational fluid dynamics Dağlı, Efe Can; Aksel, M. Haluk.; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) In this thesis, numerical simulation method for modelling lateral jet in supersonic crossflow is presented. Lateral jet control provides high maneuverability to the missile at difficult flow conditions. Besides, jet in a crossflow case has a highly complicated flow domain which should be examined using numerical or experimental methods. In this study, numerical methods are used. The thesis consists of two main sections. In the first section, a validation study is conducted for numerical simulation method us...

Numerical investigations of lateral jets for missile aerodynamics Ağsarlıoğlu, Ekin; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, effects of sonic lateral jets on aerodynamics of missiles and missilelike geometries are investigated numerically by commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, two generic missile-like geometries with lateral jets, of which experimental data are available in literature, are analyzed by the software for validation studies. As the result of this study, experimental data and CFD results are in good agreement with each other...
Mathematical Modeling of the NOTAR Antitorque System for Flight Simulation Yavrucuk, İlkay; Uzol, Oğuz (2013-04-01) In this paper, a mathematical model of a helicopter NO TAil Rotor (NOTAR) antitorque system is developed for real-time flight simulations. The model consists of the circulation control tail boom, direct jet thruster, and the vertical stabilizers. The airflow inside the tail boom is modeled by dividing the flow into aerodynamic control volumes. The model features a bladeelement-type approach for modeling the mass flow through the axial fan blades as well as aerodynamic mass and momentum conservation calculat...
