Abstract:A method based on fluid–structure coupling is used in this study to calculate the response of a rocket fairing as it is falling. Some cases of vibration divergence of the fairing were found, and the influence of some specific factors was analyzed. The aerodynamic forces are calculated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and the structural responses by the modal-superposition method. The data are then subjected to modal interpolation in the CFD solver for the next cycle of calculation. The dyna… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
