Space and Hypersonics Workshop including lectures, CAD design, CFD simulation of hypersonic vehicles (waverider).
Abstract
A 3-day course is organized at the University of Athens, comprising of lectures on the fundamentals of reentry physics and the hypersonic environment in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere and a practical component on preliminary computer aided design and numerical simulation of hypersonic flow around a waverider model in endoatmospheric flight. Lectures will be delivered by international experts and will outline complementary continuum and kinetic theory methodologies for the numerical solution of the equations of fluid motion within the Earth atmosphere. The waverider work will be performed using opensource software, pre-installed on the personal computers of the course attendees. Certificates will be issued upon successful completion of the course.
