| Zusammenfassung: | The research described in this viewgraph presentation investigates the ascent of STS-107 and foam-debris impact, and contributes to understanding of the STS-107 accident using CFD tools. The goals of the research are to: 1) Quantify loads on foam bipod ramp during ascent; 2) Provide steady-state flow-fields to debris-transport simulations; 3) Simulate flight of foam debris using unsteady six-degree-of-freedom calculations; 4) Provide estimates of foam mass, velocity, and impact angle which correlate with video and film evidence. |
