Abstract | In this work we develop a methodology for simplified calculations of the force and moment experienced by a shock impinged ISS component during atmospheric entry. Utilising blast wave theory we develop a correlation for scaling a single computationally calculated force and moment to flight relevant conditions. Our baseline computational model is selected to match a model previously tested in the TUSQ hypersonic facility. The force results of the computation match the experimental results to within 10%. With the validated computational result, we then compute the scaled loads for three different flow conditions expected to be a part of the ISS re-entry trajectory, computing an |
