...Yi Pu Zhao; Haiming Huang; Qian Wu; Xinmeng Wang Purpose The transpiration has been recognized as one of the most effective thermal protection methods for future hypersonic vehicles. To improve efficiency and safety, it is urgent to optimize the design of the transpiration system for heat and drag...

...Jory Seguin; Song Gao; Wagdi George Habashi; Dario Isola; Guido Baruzzi Purpose This paper aims to describe the physical and numerical modeling of a new computational fluid dynamics solver for hypersonic flows in thermo-chemical non-equilibrium. The code uses a blend of numerical techniques...

...Haiming Huang; Yumeng Hu Purpose With the continuous increase of space activities and insight into space exploration, the velocity of near space hypersonic vehicles becomes higher and higher, which leads to the aerothermodynamic phenomenon getting worse around a vehicle; therefore, the exploration...

...Guo Huang; Haiming Huang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to perform the simulation to explore the gap flow field under a hypersonic air flow. Thermal protection systems of hypersonic vehicles generally consist of thermal insulation tiles, and gaps between these tiles probably cause a severe...

...Yumeng Hu; Haiming Huang; Zimao Zhang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the characteristics of hypersonic flow past a blunt body. Design/methodology/approach The implicit finite volume schemes are derived from axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations by means of AUSM+ and LU-SGS...

...Min G. Lee This paper describes the numerical solutions of type‐IV shock‐on‐shock interactions in hypersonic thermochemical nonequilibrium air flows around blunt bodies. The Navier‐Stokes equation solver for a chemically reacting and vibrationally relaxing gas mixture was applied to the present...
