The present investigation is aimed at evaluating the reliability of unstructured TAU Code for hypersonic flows. To improve efficiency, accuracy and robustness, code has been modified concerning, example, residual smoothing, limiters timestep size to handle strong shocks. Validation was done using CFD solutions different European solvers well known test cases such as hyperboloid flare. Further investigations have wedge compression corners study gap flow phenomena. Also, computations a complex...

In 2002, the HyShot supersonic flight experiment was successfully launched and allowed to access experimental data for combustion. Ground based testing performed in High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel (HEG) of German Aerospace Center (DLR) reproduce Mach 7.8 conditions. The present numerical work focuses on computation experiments HEG considering flows with without combustion fuel injection. Further, variations equivalence ratio resulting influence flow topology are studied.
Abstract The paper presents applications of a moving grid method to the combined problem ignition and premixed flame propagation in closed vessel. This belongs general class adaptive techniques for numerical integration evolutionary partial differential equations is based on lines with variable node position. In present case motion solution are strongly coupled by an implicit formulation. reduced initial value stiff differential‐algebraic system. continuously determined equidistribution...
In Europe, the EC co-funded project FAST20XX aims at exploring borderline between aviation and space by investigating suborbital vehicles. The main focus is identification mastering of critical technologies for such vehicles rather than vehicle development itself. Besides objectives overall layout built around two concepts, paper addresses also progress made during first year project. On one hand, a launched from an airplane providing lowenergy ballistic flight experience using hybrid...
The present paper focusses on the numerical rebuilding of different multiphase flow regimes in a medium scale pipe system (6 inch).Principal investigations are performed by CFD to initiate hydrodynamic instabilities and develop them into correct pattern (slug, stratified, etc.) at given downwind position without applying artificial models or boundary conditions.The predictions obtained volume fluid method (OpenFoam) compared with available experimental data.Numerical respect grid resolution,...
