Abstract:This work investigates the aerodynamic performance of a hypersonic waverider designed to operate at Mach 7, focusing on optimizing its design through advanced computational methods. Utilizing the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, the three-dimensional flow field around the specifically designed waverider was simulated to understand the shock wave interactions and thermal dynamics at an altitude of 90 km. The computational approach included detailed meshing around the vehicle’s critical leading edges… Show more
