CFD Simulations
With CFD simulations, the rocket was simulated during 5 moments of its flight. The flight speed varies from 37 m/s (Mach 0.11) to a high supersonic flight speed of 1,238 m/s (Mach 4.1). The supersonic hot flame from the rocket engine is also simulated.
The figures show the origin of the shock waves around the nose cone and at the stabilizer fins. The so-called “Shock cells” are clearly visible at Mach 0.11 at the rocket engine as alternating high pressure (red color) and low pressure (blue color).
