| Abstract: |
The Crew Escape System (CES) is used for safe return of crew in case of any malfunctioning of a launch vehicle during ascent, specially in the atmospheric phase of flight. In the present case, as no active control is employed, the aerodynamic stability of CES is essential for safe return of crew in case of any emergency during ascent phase. While finalizing the shape of CES, besides stability, other aerodynamic parameters like acoustic, thermal, structural load, etc. need to be analysed. Based on detailed studies using CFD, a conical-shaped CES has been finalized. This article discusses the challenges involved in aerodynamic shaping of CES and different parameters studied while finalizing the configuration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
