Abstract

The numerical simulation of the hypersonic viscous gas flow around the landing module intended for descent in the Martian atmosphere is considered. When modeling the special attention is paid to the study of non-stationary flow structure near the lateral surface and bottom regions of the descent module located at different attack angles. The patterns of the non-stationary spatial vortex flow near the descent module are presented. Numerical simulation is based on the conservative method of finite volumes for the Navier–Stokes model of medium. Numerical simulation is implemented on multiprocessor supercomputers.
