Abstract
Stabilization, trim, and control devices are the prerequisites for flyability and controllability of aerospace flight vehicles. Regarding re-entry flight of RV-W’s, we have mentioned in Section 2.1.2 that initially, at high altitudes, the reaction control system (RCS) is the major flight control system. Aerodynamic trim, stabilization and control surfaces take over further down on the trajectory. This is in contrast to CAV’s, where aerodynamic stabilization and control surfaces are the only devices. Obviously, deploying such devices result in a strong coupling of the thrust vector (and the aerothermoelasticity of the airframe), Sub-Section 2.2.3, into the flight dynamics, trim and control of the vehicle. Moreover, for ARV’s, the trajectory is such that they reach high altitudes in a situation similar to RW-V’s so that control surface effectiveness eventually is diminished and reaction control systems (RCS) have to be deployed. In other words, ARV’s require two different control systems. On the other hand, the capsule RV-NW’s, as a rule, have only RCS for flight control.
We begin this chapter with an introduction to trim and control surface aerothermodynamics, and concentrate then on the onset flow characteristics. Next treated is the asymptotic behavior of pressure, the thermal state of the surface and wall shear stress on the control surface, approximated here as a ramp. Related issues of reaction control systems are discussed briefly. Configurational considerations are presented regarding the discussed trim and control devices. Finally the results are summarized and simulation issues are examined. Our aim is to foster the understanding of the flow phenomena involved in the operation of stabilization, trim, and control devices and the problems related to their simulation with experimental and computational means.
