Abstract
Abstract In this work, an advanced atmospheric model (IATM) for the flight of SHEFEX II is created and its effect on the aerodynamic loads of the first-stage fins of SHEFEX II is investigated. The atmospheric model bases on weather balloon data collected at the starting day of the flight experiment. The wind data are filtered using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and reduced by their intrinsic mode functions (IMF) to get wind data without balloon oscillation. Compared to a linear interpolated atmosphere (LATM), the numerical results show no significant influence on the forced motion body loads but there is a high impact of wind on the fins of SHEFEX II as unsteady simulations show an increase up to over 50% of dynamic loading, while viscous effects can be neglected.
期刊介绍:
The CEAS Space Journal has been created by the CEAS Space Branch to provide an appropriate platform for the excellent scientific publications submitted by scientists and engineers. Under the umbrella of CEAS, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA) support the Journal. The Journal is devoted to new developments and results in all areas of space-related science and technology, including important spin-off capabilities and applications as well as ground-based support systems and manufacturing advancements. Of interest are also (invited) in-depth reviews of the status of development in specific areas of relevance to space, and descriptions of the potential way forward. Typical disciplines of interest include mission design and space systems, satellite communications, aerothermodynamics (including physical fluid dynamics), environmental control and life support systems, materials, operations, space debris, optics, optoelectronics and photonics, guidance, navigation and control, mechanisms, propulsion, power, robotics, structures, testing and thermal issues and small satellites. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, (invited) reviews and short communications.
