Cfd simulation of spacex dragon
Description:
Simulation of supersonic flow (Mach number 1.45) around the SpaceX Dragon during atmospheric re-entry using ANSYS CFX software. The Dragon is a reusable spacecraft developed by SpaceX. Originally designed to deliver both cargo and crew to orbiting destinations, it has so far only been used to delive

r cargo to the International Space Station (ISS). The mesh used for this simulation consists of approximately 17 million cells. The SST turbulence model is used. A simplified version of the CFX simulation file (mesh: 1.6 million cells, RNG k–ε turbulence model) is also attached for download.
