Abstract

A numerical analysis is made of the supersonic separation of air-launching rocket from the mother plane. Three-dimensional Euler equations have been numerically solved to capture details of steady/unsteady flow fields and transient behavior of the launching rocket during separation stage. Various types of interaction between shock and expansion waves are clarified with concomitant effects on the separation process. As extracting important design factors, which have major influences on the stability of separation, a guideline on the design of supersonic air-launching rocket is given.
