Abstract:The vibroacoustic loading generated during the launch of space vehicles can cause the failure of electronic and mechanical components. Therefore, the prediction and mitigation of these vibroacoustic levels are crucial to improve the reliability of launchers and payload comfort. Because a properly designed flame deflector has the power to significantly reduce the acoustic pressure level, the aeroacoustics characteristics of diverse types of flame deflectors must be understood. Three different deflector geometri… Show more
“…Therefore, because a properly designed flame deflector can significantly reduce the acoustic pressure level, we study the aeroacoustic characteristics of diverse flame deflectors for the VEGA launch vehicle. The results presented in this section have been published in the article [186]. This work was devised before the LES model was developed, so the URANS model of OpenFOAM was used.…”
