Summary
The development of the shuttle-like technology demonstrator PHOENIX is intended to prove the feasibility of a future European reusable space transportation system. The present work focuses on aerodynamic solutions for the clean-configuration of PHOENIX by solving the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional flow. Details of the structured grid generation process are discussed and a converged solution for supersonic flow is presented. The agreement of the obtained aerodynamic coefficients with wind tunnel and design data is favorable. Computations are in progress for viscous hypersonic flow about PHOENIX for different flight conditions.
