The search for an efficient, small-sized winged re-entry vehicle aeroshape is considered. Problem solving involves an iteration process aimed at changing initial aerodynamic external aeroshape in order to realize given performance characteristics. The computation of aerodynamic characteristics at every iteration step is completed using software packages based on different engineering techniques. Estimation of descent trajectory parameters involves searching for the optimal trajectory, and realizing the maximum cross range at given equilibrium temperature limitations, for example, at stagnation points of aeroshape elements. For this reason the shape of perspective small-sized winged re-entry vehicle aeroshapes is worked out. The defining feature of the aeroshape is that its shape, size, and wing location provide not only balancing and stability, but also the necessary value of lift at all flight modes. The shape of the nose section, the airfoil, and the value of leading-edge sweep enabled realization of acceptable heat fluxes on the vehicle surface at hypersonic speeds.

A procedure for the definition of trajectories and coefficients of overcooled droplets sinking on an airfoil was worked out and realized numerically for simulating the process of wing and helicopter blade icing. Similarity parameters of trajectories were specified. Computation of ice shapes on the airfoil NACA 00012 was fulfilled, and the obtained results were compared with known computational and experimental data.

transition
Presented are the numerical and the experimental results describing laminar/turbulent boundary layer transition on thin blunted cones at freestream Mach numbers of M = 6.1 and 8. Shown is the common influence of cone nose bluntness, semi-angle of cones, and Mach and Reynolds numbers on the boundary layer transition. The present results, concerning the beginning of boundary layer transition, are compared with data obtained previously in wind tunnels at super- and hypersonic flows over the thin blunted cones.

Navier-Stokes equations
The computational analysis of the efficiency of a propeller in a viscous wake is performed. A simplified model of an airship with a stern-mounted propeller is considered as an example. Velocity field near the airship, pressure distribution, and shear stresses on the airship surface are computed for the cases of an operated propeller and a turned-off propeller. Analysis of forces acting on the airship and on the propeller is performed for the propeller mounted in an airship stern in a viscous wake and for the propeller located out of the airship interaction zone. The power required for the cruise flight is shown to be approximately 7.5% less in the first case.

in-stall branch of compressor characteristic
Presented in this work is a method for calculation of compressor characteristics at a fully developed rotating stall regime with a single flow separation zone covering the entire height of the annular duct of the compressor flow at a constant rotational speed. The method enables sufficiently accurate prediction of the compressor parameters πk and ηk on the left (stalling) branch of the compressor characteristics, including the points of the stall end boundary, as a function of the flow coefficient, the angle extension of stall zone, and of the pressure ratio at the stall point on the right (nonstalling) branch of the characteristic. The method also ascertains the dimension of the hysteresis loop. The extension of the stall zone is shown to be the significant parameter determining the compressor performance at the stall regime.

One- and two-dimensional vibrations of bound thin-walled structures excited by the spatially nonuniform convective field of random pressure fluctuations are studied. Expressions for the spectral density of generalized forces for sinusoidal forms of elastic system vibrations are obtained, and expressions are developed for estimation of the vibrational energy and power of the thin-walled structure sound radiation, depending on the characteristic parameters of the excitation field. General principles of the vibrations and of the acoustic radiation of the bound and unbound elastic systems are established.
