Numerical study of attack angle characteristics for integrated hypersonic vehicle

The two-dimensional coupled implicit Navier-Stokes equations and standard k-ε viscous models are used to simulate the angle of Stack characteristics of an integrated hypersonic vehicle with a hark head configuration under three kinds of working conditions:inlet cut-off,engine through-flow,and engine ignition.Influence of each component on aero-propulsive performance of the vehicle is discussed.It is concluded that the longitudinal static stability of the vehicle is good,and there is enough lift-to-drag ratio to satisfy the flying requirement of the vehicle.At the same time,it is important to change configurations of engine and upper surface of airframe to improve aero-propulsive performance of the vehicle.
