Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to examine the aerodynamic characteristics of hypersonic waverider vehicle by simulation and experiment. The simulation was accomplished using NS aerodynamic codes developed in Northwestern Polytechncal University. The objective of experiment are twofold. The first is to examine the accuracy of simulation. The second is to examine the effects of shockwave an d boundary layer interactions on aero dynamic performance hypersonic configurations.
