Abstract

In this study, we apply a numerical strategy, based on high-accurate finite volume numerical schemes and advanced turbulence models, to calculate the mean and fluctuating pressure in the recirculation zone of a mock up of the Ariane 5 space launcher, which is one of our advanced validation test cases for the FLUSEPA solver, developed by Airbus Safran Launchers.
