Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues and Researchers,

The strong and practical demands from aerospace industries motivate development in and research on aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, thermo-acoustics and thermal fluids, and propulsion. This poses new technical challenges in the advancement of novel numerical approaches as well as creative experimental methodologies. Thus, this Special Issue intends to collect novel ideas as well as numerical and experimental findings/results in the field of aerospace engineering and industrial thermal systems from the design, simulation, optimization, laboratory tests, and theoretical findings to practical applications.

Areas relevant to aerospace engineering include but are not limited to aerodynamics; propulsion; aeroacoustics; thermodynamics; heat transfer; novel data-processing algorithms; computational fluid dynamics; lab-scale experiments; and artificial intelligence as well as deep/machine learning and their application in aerospace engineering. The supersonic and hypersonic aerial vehicles that are necessary to achieve extremely high flight speed in the context of hybrid and/or novel detonation propulsion systems and the high-fidelity computing and modelling of supersonic devices are also topics of interest.

This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original- and review-type research papers the cover the following fields:

  • Aerodynamics;
  • Aeroacoustics;
  • Propulsion and combustion;
  • Thermoacoustics;
  • Thermal fluids;
  • Heat transfer;
  • Thermodynamics;
  • Combustion and micro-combustion;
  • Numerical simulations;
  • Experimental tests;
  • Aero-elasticity;
  • Noise and vibration.

Propellant Gauging is of vital importance to a spacecraft at the end of its life. Based on the Monte Carlo Method, uncertainty analysis and the improvement of propellant gauging using gas injection have been studied. As a result of the analysis, the gauging uncertainty has weak relation to the uncertainties of the volumes of the injection room and tank, the uncertainties of the pressure, and the temperature in the injection room. Relatively, the uncertainties of the temperature and pressure in the tank have a great effect on the gauging uncertainty. By improving the uncertainties of the tank pressure and temperature within 0.04% and 0.4%, the final gauging uncertainty can be obtained within 0.4%. Ground tests have been conducted and the results came out with approximately 0.4% error, well within the theoretical analysis. Full article
