Aerodynamic analysis of low orbit launcher
Fojtl, Michal ; Navrátil, Jan (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
Master’s thesis deals with aerodynamic heating of launch vehicle during ascent phase by using CFD simulation. Ascent trajectory and payload fairing geometry is design using data of existing small launch vehicles. Critical flight regimes are identified using 2D calculations, and in these regimes analysis is performed by axially symmetric simulations. Simulation results are compared to values obtained from theoretical and semi-empirical calculations.
