  1. 1. Investigation of Antenna Radomes in Low Earth Orbits

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Mathias Manohar Gren; [2023]
    Keywords : Materials; Science; Space; Satellites; Antenna Radomes; Beyond Gravity; Coatings; Physics; Chemistry; Low Earth Orbits; Engineering; Lunds University; Materials Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Introduction: This master’s thesis focuses on exploring improved alternative material solutions for antenna radomes used to protect Beyond Gravity Sweden’s satellite antennas in low Earth orbits. Background: As the environment in low Earth orbit is harsh, surface materials on satellites experience high levels of atomic oxygen, ultra violet radiation, thermal-fluctuation, charged particles and micro meteoroids.

  3. 2. LES modelling of spray combustion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Arvid Åkerblom; [2021]
    Keywords : Gas Turbine; CFD; Large Eddy Simulation; Lagrangian Particle Tracking; Chemical Kinetics; Reaction Mechanism; Combustion; OpenFOAM; CHEMKIN; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives. Because conventional fuels have been more widely researched, an attempt at simulating the combustion of alternative fuels should be preceded by the development of a method that is capable of accurately simulating the combustion of a conventional fuel.

  4. 3. Investigating the Impact of Water Injection on Noise Generation During Rocket Lift-Off

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Sångberg Linus; [2021]
    Keywords : Rocket lift-off; Turbulent mixing noise; CFD;

    Abstract : This thesis aim to provide SSC, Swedish Space Corporation, with a foundation for understanding the key ideas behind water injection during rocket lift-off, including problems to be avoided when simulating the phenomena. This investigation focus on finding approaches suitable for obtaining a rough estimate of the reduction in noise generation, when too expensive equipment required is absent. READ MORE

  5. 4. Acoustic Prediction Methods for Rocket Flame Deflector Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : FREDRIK RANOW; [2021]
    Keywords : Flame deflector; Launch pad; Estimation methods; Acoustics; Reflectivity; Diffraction; Directivity; Flamdeflektor; Uppskjutningsplattform; Uppskattningsmetoder; Akustik; Reflektivitet; Diffraktion; Direktivitet;

    Abstract : The aim of the project behind this report is to gain an understanding for the design criteria of launch pad flame deflectors used for launching rockets. This report presents an overview of the underlying phenomena, and then tackles the issue of estimating noise levels that come about during lift-off. READ MORE

  6. 5. Conceptual Design of an Air-Launched Three-Staged Orbital Launch Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Måns Rasmussen; [2021]
    Keywords : Air-launched; Launch Vehicle; Three-staged; Rocket; Sun-Synchronous orbit; Solid propellant; Liquid propellant; Trajectory optimization; Nonlinear programming; JAS 39 Gripen; Fighter aircraft; Luftlanserad; Trestegsraket; Solsynkron bana; Fast bränsle; Flytande bränsle; Bananalys; Icke-linjär optimering; JAS 39 Gripen; Jaktflygplan;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to design a launch vehicle capable of deploying a nanosatellite into a Sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km orbital altitude from the JAS 39E/F Gripen fighter aircraft. This was achieved by first performing theoretical calculations for the required nozzles and solid propellant grain configurations for the first two solid stages, followed by the necessary liquid propellant configuration for the third stage.
