Abstract

Hypersonic aerodynamic characterization in presence of high temperature effects is essential for orbiter re-entry for winged body configuration. CFD studies with chemical non- equilibrium solver are carried out for aerodynamic characterization. Validation of the methodology is done by simulating hypersonic pitching moment anomaly of space shuttle orbiter. Aerodynamic data for 6≤M≤23 is obtained for winged body configuration and high temperature effects are analyzed for basic and elevon deflected configuration.
