Aerothermodynamic Phenomena and the Design of Atmospheric Hypersonic Airplanes

  • Chapter
Advances in Hypersonics

Summary

Basic design aspects of atmospheric hypersonic airplanes are discussed with regard to the involved aerothermodynamic phenomena. After sketching the design problems of such airplanes, aerothermodynamic tools (wind tunnel, computation methods) are reviewed together with their validation problems. After an overview of aerothermodynamic characteristics of hypersonic airplanes configurational aspects are discussed, including propulsion integration. With this background major aerothermodynamic phenomena (viscous phenomena, heat loads and heat transfer phenomena, real gas effects) are treated, always with regard on the one hand to the design problem, and on the other hand to the simulation problem. Finally needs of design work and necessary perspectives in research work are outlined.
