UDRI has been particularly active in the area of flight. CFD analysis has been performed throughout the flight regime from subsonic to hypersonic flow. CFD has also been coupled with FEA to provide ...

Karpuzcu said the cone geometry represents a simplified version of many hypersonic vehicles and understanding how the flow affects surface properties can help lead to design considerations.

Abstract: Predicting what happens as a hypersonic vehicle flies through the atmosphere involves ... I will describe a new simulation method that bridges quantum chemistry to macroscopic flow, leading ...

Karpuzcu said the cone geometry represents a simplified version of many hypersonic vehicles and understanding how the flow affects surface properties can help lead to design considerations.

At hypersonic speeds — above Mach 5, or more than 5 times the speed of sound (3,836 mph or 6,174 kilometers per hour) — the flow of air around a vehicle's surface becomes complex and bumpy.

“There are a lot of things happening in hypersonic flow that are so nonlinear that they are not fully understood, that we need to characterize if we want to design systems that work under these ...

The agency claims the technology is 'simpler than conventional methods for control of hypersonic craft.' NASA's Technology Transfer Program is licensing its rights to a radical new form of ...

However, we have some unique capabilities here at Purdue in terms of the hypersonic flow environments we can produce.” The hypersonic flow environments Jewell is referring to will be simulated ...
