Introduction The IXV (Intermediate e. Xperimental Vehicle) • An atmospheric re-entry demonstrator which will perform a suborbital flight and will re-enter in the atmosphere. • To be launched by the ESA/Vega from the Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG) • It will experience the typical Low Earth Orbit re-entry thermal loads. TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 3
Introduction Main objective: To develop an analytical approach to be implemented for I/F design of IXV. Model characteristics changes operated by means of: – algorithms – configurations To properly simulate behaviour of items characterized by different: – thermal properties – thermo-mechanical properties – permeability Leading to different temperature requirement limits. TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 4
Introduction Interfaces (I/F) External critical regions in which environmental agents can find a preferential way to dangerously affect internal environment and items. Design requirements: • to limit sneak flow and act as thermal barriers (proper sealing); • to limit discontinuities (steps, gaps, and bowing) in the vehicle Outer Mould Line; • to allow depressurization and repressurization of IXV and TPS&H/S Assemblies.

Introduction Different types of I/Fs to be designed: • among different-type Thermal Protection Systems: – – – nose-to-windward nose-to-leeward-to-windward-to-hinge-to-rear hinge-to-leeward • between TPSs and other subsystems: – – – floatation system ejectable panels insulation venting hole protection insulation over antennas bridle channels insulation protection insulation on umbilical mechanisms TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 6
Analysis Approach Modeling criterion • ESATAN Thermal Lumped Parameter (TLP) solver • Technique resembles System Thermal Mathematical Model (TMM) one improving temperature mapping capabilities • highly customizable 2 D mesh models and one 3 D axisymmetric model • depending on the I/F type, a fluid leak (sneak flow) through sealing materials is simulated TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 7
I/F TMMs general description Thermal network basic concept • Thermal network organized in node blocks linked together to establish a geometrical hierarchy → propagation of changes by acting upon relevant parameters (e. g. modification of items sizing, material properties, etc. ) • Node blocks wrapped into arithmetical nodes → spreading effect of surface heat exchanges implicitly solved (reliable evaluation of I/F temperatures) TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 8
I/F TMMs general description Environment simulation • Internal environment: radiative and convective equivalent conductors (representative nodes defined on the basis of System TMM) • External environment: radiative conductors and heat fluxes (ATDB, max heat load trajectory) or input from dedicated thermo-ablative software • Sneak flow: modelled by means of a heat contribution calculated as: TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 9

Analysis results and their application Local vs System TMMs DT are applied to overall vehicle temperature maps all along the I/Fs envelope at C/S and TPS level. Temperature maps are used as an input for System Thermo-elastic analyses → overall steps and gaps requirements verification TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 14
New approach for TPS thermal analysis Current approach modeling (ESATAN) flaws: • ESATAN-TMS GUI is in early development phase → code is usually written down by hand • Manual debugging and subroutine generation is the rule → coding is more error-prone than a robust front-end approach • CAD interfacing tools are under development → geometry is user discretized and modeled, usually in scripting form with graphic visualization • Data exchange is manually managed by means of properly written routines → a coding endeavor is required TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 15
New approach for TPS thermal analysis Solution: switching to an hybrid approach tool. • Bi-directional from/to CAD geometry interfacing, with direct user intervention for simplification purposes • Finite element based model mesh generation • Possibility to chose between a Finite Element Method (FEM) or a TLP solution • Possibility to chose between FEM or TLP like postprocessing (temperatures interpolated over the node vs isothermal nodes) TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 16
New approach for TPS thermal analysis FEM-TLP hybrid workflow in NX environment An example of hybrid approach workflow applied to a preliminary TPS-to-TPS I/F analysis. TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 17
Summary & Conclusions The presented modelling approach has been developed in the frame of IXV programme resulting into a key feature of the I/F design assessment at System level. The adopted work logic resulted in an effective approach to: • Achieve the required detail level for I/Fs design justification • Reduce development times and iterations between the different disciplines involved • Minimize and enhance data exchange cycles among several analysis tools TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 18
Summary & Conclusions Improvements based on hybrid FEM/TLP analysis are being implemented to: • Boost up detail level for I/Fs design refinement • Further reduce development and coding endeavor (minimizing modeling mistakes) • Enhance data exchange among several CAD/analysis suites TFAWS 2011 – August 15 -19, 2011 19
