Cover Story (view full-size image):
Hypersonic flight in high altitudes poses unique challenges to aerodynamic efficiency and thermal management. To address these challenges, a waverider optimized for 90 km altitude and Mach 7 was designed and simulated. To analyze aerodynamic performance and heat transfer under rarefied gas conditions, the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method was used. In this framework, the waverider's design focuses on efficient flight dynamics and thermal management. Simulations reveal a good flight performance at the design conditions, with critical insights into aerodynamic efficiency and heat flux. The results highlight the waverider's potential for high-speed, high-altitude travel, contributing to advancements in hypersonic vehicle technology and relevant space applications. View this paper
