Abstract

Before we develop LVAFoam, a CFD software for launch vehicle analysis, we conducted a survey on other CFD softwares. We looked at in-house code and commercial CFD software of other countries that were used as a simulation of launch vehicle's combustor, turbopump and external flow. This research included in-house code solvers, developed by NASA, Mississippi State University, DLR, Bertin Technologies, CNES, CERFACS, and JAXA as well as commercial CFD software from FLUENT, CFX, Advance/FrontFlow/red, GASP, CRUNCH CFD, CFD-ACE+, FINETM/Turbo, STAR-CCM+. The simulation cases of launch vehicle analysis from each commercial softwares and introduction of the LVAFoam were presented.

발사체 분석을 위한 CFD 소프트웨어인 LVAFoam을 개발하기 앞서 발사체의 연소기, 터보 펌프 및 외부유동의 시뮬레이션에 사용된 해외의 인하우스 CFD 소프트웨어 및 상용 CFD 소프트웨어에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 인하우스 소프트웨어로는 NASA, 미시시피 주립대학, DLR, Bertin Technologies & CNES, CERFACS 및 JAXA의 솔버들과, 상용 소프트웨어로는 FLUENT, CFX, Adavance/FrontFlow/red, GASP, CRUNCH CFD, CFD-ACE+, FINETM/Turbo, STAR-CCM+ 의 솔버들을 정리하였다. 발사체 분석을 위한 각 소프트웨어의 계산 사례가 제시되었으며, 개발된 LVAFoam이 간략하게 소개되었다.
