Analysis of the Hypersonic Flow Field around the Skylon Vehicle
2010
Based on the first numerical investigation of Skylon [1] the present analysis deals in
detail with further possibly problematic areas of Skylon. The main focus is in the
detection of shock-shock interactions and their consequences with respect to high
local temperatures on the surface. In this context, different possibilities to reduce the
high thermal loads are analysed. Furthermore, the influence of the corrugated
aeroshell is investigated in order to assess heating rates on the corners for different
flow conditions.
