Orbital Transport: Technical, Meteorological and Chemical Aspects Third Aerospace Symposium, Braunschweig 26.28. August 1991 [Paperback]

This volume offers an introduction into the technologyprograms and international projects of reusable orbitaltransport systems. Besides the technological requirements,meteorological and air chemical aspects in regard to theenvironmental compatibility of future transport systems arethe most important topics.The aim of the symposium was to investigate the classicaldisciplines and methods of aeronautics and astro- nautics inconnection with meteorological and air chemical methods andmodels. For this purpose an attempt was made to identifytechnological optimization parameters in respect to the airchemical environmental compatibility of future orbitaltransport systems.Session 1 Orbital Transport.- The German Space Program.- BMFT  Hypersonic Technology Programs.- Orbital Transport Systems.- The European Hermes Program.- Environmental Aspects of Orbital Transport.- Session 2 High Temperature Aspects.- Hypersonic Technology Experimental Vehicles.- High Temperature Aspects of the European Hermes Programme.- The Aerothermodynamic Validation Reentry Experiment HYPERBA.- An Integrated Computer-Program-System for the Preliminary Design of Advanced Hypersonic Aircraft (PrADO-Hy).- Design Optimization of an Airbreathing Aerospaceplane.- Integrated Thermal and Mechanical Analysis of Hypersonic Vehicles by Using Adaptive Finite Element Methods.- Local Implicit Solvers for the Calculation of Hypersonic Reactive Flow Fields.- Estimation of Aerodynamic Derivatives: Euler Scheme Validation and Approximate Methods for Hypersonic Configurations.- Verification of Engineering Methods of Aerodynamics for Reentry Vehicles by DSMC.- Numerical Modelling and Simulation of Chemically Reacting Reentry Flows.- Simulation of Hypersonic Flows Using Detailed Reaction and Transport Models.- Modelling of Chemical and Physical Effects with Respect to Flows Around Reentry Bodies.- Fundamental Investigation on Post-Shock Thermodynl“ò
