Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators for Atmospheric Re-entry
Atmospheric re-entry is the most challenging part of human space flight. In the re-entry phase of flight, the crew module (or re-entry vehicle) is required to bring the onboard astronauts from orbital velocities, which ... -
Self-sustained oscillations in high-speed cylinder wake flows
Flow in the wake generated by a solid body presents an important class of problems in fluid dynamics, with wide ranging scientific implications and engineering applications. The present work investigates the structure and ... -
Small-amplitude Oscillations in Hypersonic Double-cone Flow
Unsteady compressible flows typically pose problems with rich dynamics. The broad concern of this thesis is the shock wave unsteadiness that arises in external high-speed flow over a double-cone body. This unsteadiness is ...
