Aerodynamic & thermodynamic analysis and optimisation of sounding rockets
University of Sheffield x The Falcon Project
& Adam Tulip
This project with The Falcon Project will focus on the aerodynamic/thermodynamic analysis and optimisation of sounding rockets.
During travel in the Earth's atmosphere, spacecraft and rockets experience high aerodynamic and heating loads during both launch, cruise and re-entry.
The project will involve the practical design and launch of sounding rockets to investigate the effectiveness of aerodynamic/thermodynamic modifications for reduced drag and improved control of thermal and aerodynamic loads at transonic and supersonic speeds.
