Fellowships in Hypersonic Aerodynamics.

Abstract

This fellowship program supported two Ph.D. students in hypersonic aerodynamics. The research was carried out in two categories: The study of hypersonic waveriders, and the generation of a family of optimized waveriders including viscous effects; The numerical study of the interaction of a shock wave and a vortex at hypersonic speeds. Here, the calculations were made using a finite-volume technique with upwind differencing. Keywords: Hypersonic vehicles; Viscous hypersonic waveriders; Axisymmetric flow fields.
