Description

R.Tech is active since 20 years in the field of numerical simulation for aerothermodynamic reentry and is working with the CNES on the problematic of space debris since 10 years. An overview of different tools developed is presented. The combination of high fidelity codes Mistral-CFD in the continuum regime and Mistral-DSMC in the rarefied regime allow to simulate any conditions for a LEO reentry using high fidelity. The process of using high fidelity tools to derive and validate simplified models in both spacecraft oriented (PAMPERO) and object oriented (DEBRISK) tools is presented.
