Mars entry challenges relate to different atmosphere models; consequently, the effective landing capability of a winged configuration is discussed. An entry trajectory study in the Martian atmosphere assuming both a planar and non-planar three degree-of-freedom model is performed. Peak heat rates and time-integrated heat loads during the descent are computed verifying the entry corridor. It is shown that prescribed aerodynamic performances can be modulated explicitly by varying angle of attack and implicitly with bank-angle modulation. Finally, the resulting trajectory is discussed in terms of g-loads, total range performances, and integral heat load absorbed, in the perspective of future manned exploration missions.","PeriodicalId":348208,"journal":{"name":"Hypersonic Vehicles - Applications, Recent Advances, and Perspectives [Working Title]","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129404838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study which simulates the flow using the software Fluent v.19 focuses on the comparison between three protection techniques based on the repulsion of the shock wave, the first is geometric, it consists in introducing a spike that makes the right shock move away from the nose of the shuttle, this allows the endothermic physicochemical processes of dissociation and ionization to absorb heat, the second technique is based on an opposite jet configuration in the frontal region of the nose, this jet allows to push the strong shock, and consequently reduce the heat released, the last technique is the assembly of the two previous techniques; Jets nearby the spike noses were set up in front of the blunt body to reconfigure the flow field and reduce aerodynamic overheating. The opposing jet model reduces the heat at the nose by 12.08% compared to the spike model and by 20.36% compared to the spike jet model. The flow field reconfiguration was the most important factor in heat reduction, according to the quantitative analysis, a combination parameter was given as the main criterion for designing spiked bodies with opposing jets for the goal of heat reduction based on the locations of the reattached shock and its interaction with the conical shock. The results obtained are in good agreement with the specialized literature.","PeriodicalId":348208,"journal":{"name":"Hypersonic Vehicles - Applications, Recent Advances, and Perspectives [Working Title]","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114274758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This hypersonic vehicle is designed to develop a shock attached along the leading edge length to improve flight efficiency. The concept was first proposed by Nonweiler in 1959. Since then, many studies have been conducted, mainly on numerical aspects. Few works have included the influence of the viscous effect, we can cite those of Bowcutt who showed how viscous effects impact the optimal shapes due to the skin friction drag. However, the trajectories of these types of vehicles anticipate flights with high Mach numbers and at high altitudes where rarefaction effects can strongly impact the lift-to-drag ratio predictions. This work focuses on the behavior of the L/D ratio at different supersonic operating conditions. The viscous effects were analyzed with 4 operating flow conditions: Mach 2 and 8 Pa static pressure and Mach 4 with 2, 8 and 71 Pa static pressures. For this purpose, the aerodynamic coefficients were measured for several angles of incidence. with a homemade sting balance. The experimental results were compared to Monte Carlo numerical simulations performed with the DS3V code.","PeriodicalId":348208,"journal":{"name":"Hypersonic Vehicles - Applications, Recent Advances, and Perspectives [Working Title]","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114136866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
