Mission

Predicting aerodynamic environments, in ascent and re-entry phase, while providing design solutions for MIURA 1 and MIURA 5 launch vehicles.

Responsibilities
• Building Computational Fluid Dynamic meshes for aerodynamic force and moment predictions (including creating geometries, meshing, running simulations, validating, and post processing output information).
• Analyse External Aerodynamics of Launch Vehicles and Optimize Launch Vehicles’ geometries from a fluidic perspective.
• Correlation of Flight Test Data and wind tunnel test data to CFD Models.
• Development, analysis and validation of in-house software to predict launcher vehicles performance.
• Contribute performing heat transfer and associated aerothermodynamics analysis on various mission phases, including atmospheric re-entry scenarios.
• Help selecting proper sensor and data acquisition systems for capturing aerodynamic data and model correlation.

Required Knowledge
• BSc in Aerospace Engineering, or... More Detail
