The flight performance of traditional hypersonic vehicles is limited to a specified incoming
flow condition, their aerodynamic performance significantly deteriorates outside of the …

The multiple opposing jets play good roles in both drag reduction and thermal protection,
while they own strong three-dimensional effect. Therefore, in this analysis, the multiple …

A novel design methodology for waverider is proposed based on the conical flow field,
named volume-improved osculating-cone waveriders. The new waverider is generated …

Waverider-inlet integration design is an important approach to realize hypersonic flight. The
inlet lip is the key factor for internal/external flow field coupling. This paper proposes a novel …

Rocket sled is a large ground dynamic test system that obtains model test data on a special
ground track. To accurately predict heat flux on rocket sled's surface, a similar blunt body …

Hypersonic argon flows over circularly blunt flat plates in near-continuum regime are
numerically investigated in this study. The flows are, respectively, simulated using the direct …
