Kitamura Keiichi( Role: Sole author)
Springer ( ISBN:9789811590108 )
Total pages:147 Responsible for pages:147 Language:English Book type:Scholarly book
This book offers a compact primer on advanced numerical flux functions in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It comprehensively introduces readers to methods used at the forefront of compressible flow simulation research. Further, it provides a comparative evaluation of the methods discussed, helping readers select the best numerical flux function for their specific needs.
The first two chapters of the book reviews finite volume methods and numerical functions, before discussing issues commonly encountered in connection with each. The third and fourth chapter, respectively, address numerical flux functions for ideal gases and more complex fluid flow cases― multiphase flows, supercritical fluids and magnetohydrodynamics. In closing, the book highlights methods that provide high levels of accuracy.
The concise content provides an overview of recent advances in CFD methods for shockwaves. Further, it presents the author’s insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each method, helping readers implement the numerical methods in their own research. -

A Study on Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Slender Body in Pitching Motion by Surface Pressure Measurement

Language:English Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher:宇宙技術および科学の国際シンポジウム Joint Work
<p>Transportation efficiency of a reusable launch vehicle must be improved in order to realize low cost and frequent space transportation. Utilizing aerodynamic force instead of the engine thrust is effective during a return flight of a reusable vehicle. However, the feasibility of such a return flight is questionable since aerodynamic characteristics are not understood enough for a slender body in a pitching motion over a wide range of angles of attack. We investigated the surface pressure distribution of a slender body both in pitching motions and in the steady condition in a wind tunnel experiment, covering a range of angles of attack from 0° to 180°. Our results show the pitching motion has a significant influence in delaying the transition of surface pressure. From the measured surface pressure, we evaluated the variation of aerodynamic characteristics corresponding to various angular pitching velocities. We also found that, during the pitching motion, the transition in flow patterns around the body is related to the surface pressure distribution and, consequently, influences the aerodynamic characteristics.</p>
