Numerical Simulation of Aerodynamic Heating and Its Ground Test Simulation Technology

Abstract

Numerical simulation and related experimental research on supersonic aerodynamic heating are important contents in the development of hypersonic vehicles. The boundary layer flow and heat transfer process in the supersonic aerodynamic heating phenomenon are analyzed, and the effects of the engineering model, gas model, turbulence model, grid scale, calculation scheme, and boundary conditions in aerodynamic heating simulation on the numerical simulation are discussed from the physical point of view. This paper introduces the test equipments commonly used in the research of aerodynamic heating, such as oxygebacetylene flame ablation, radiation heater and high enthalpy wind tunnel, and their advantages and disadvantages, also discusses the similar parameters in the ground simulation test, and points out the reasons for the over high heat flow of the cold wall.
