Aerodynamic modeling and assessment of flaps for hypersonic trajectory control of blunt bodies
Independently articulated aerodynamic flaps on a blunt-body entry vehicle may provide a feasible alternative to current state-of-the-art bank-angle steering control while introducing additional benefits during entry, descent, and landing. Flaps provide direct control of the vehicle’s lift and drag …

A simplified means of providing first estimates to laminar heating rates on isothermal axisymmetric blunt bodies
… distribution over isothermal axisymmetric blunt bodies is developed. The method devised is free of any integral relations and reduces the required computing effort to a simple slide rule task. The simplicity of the method is due to the introduction of a new heat transfer parameter which is …

The effects of nose and corner radii on the flow about blunt bodies at angle of attack
… the pressure distribution and shock geometry for blunt bodies at angle of attack. Experimental pressure distributions were measured on a family of blunt, axisymmetric bodies which included a range of ratios of body radius to nose radius from 0 (flat face) to 0.707 and ratios of corner radius to …

An experimental investigation of fluid dynamic interference forces
… measuring aerodynamic interference force between blunt bodies. Special instrumented struts were constructed and calibrated for the measurement of drag and side forces. A series of tests were conducted with spherical models in order to verify the reliability of the method by comparison with earlier …

Free Elastic Plate Impact into Water
… impact problems of rigid and elastic plates and blunt bodies with high horizontal speed are considered. A smooth separation of the free surface flow from the body is imposed by Kutta’s condition and the Brillouin-Villat condition. In chapter 6, we account for fluid separation from the body in the …

Multidimensional and High Frequency Heat Flux Reconstruction Applied to Hypersonic Transitional Flows
… vehicles. The control of transition on blunt bodies is essential to improve the performance of lifting and control surfaces. The objective of this Ph.D. research is to develop efficient and accurate algorithms for the detection of high-frequency heat flux fluctuations supported by …
