    • Numerical studies of ram-air Intake for near-earth satellites 

      Ravuri, Nishita; Scully, Stephen; Vashishtha, Ashish (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2024-01)
      The operation of satellites in Earth orbits with altitudes lower than 450 km involves dealing with rarefied atmosphere environment. To compensate for the aerodynamic drag present in this low-density atmosphere, satellites ...

    • Unsteady DSMC Simulation of blunt nose with spike at hypersonic rarefield flows 

      Ravuri, Nishita; Scully, Stephen; Vashishtha, Ashish (2023-03-29)
      To design an efficient ram-air intake for an air-breathing propulsion system for VLEO (Very-Low) / SLEO (Super Low) Earth Orbit satellites requires consideration of the unsteady effects in the hypersonic low-density or ...
