1 ResultProject Goal The goal of this project is to evaluate the structural strength and aerodynamic performance of a rocket fin using Finite Element Analysis (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The project aims to determine whether the fin can safely withstand aerodynamic loads during flight, identify regions of high stress and deformation, analyze airflow around the fin, and investigate opportunities to improve the design by reducing stress and aerodynamic drag. Simulation Type Finite Element Analysis (FEM): Static Structural Analysis Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Incompressible External Flow Analysis Project Description This project involves the numerical simulation of a rocket fin using SimScale. First, a static structural (FEM) analysis is performed by assigning material properties, fixing the fin at its root, and applying aerodynamic pressure to evaluate Von Mises stress, deformation, and the factor of safety. A mesh independence study is conducted using coarse, medium, and fine meshes to ensure reliable results. Next, a CFD analysis is carried out by creating an external flow domain around the rocket fin. Airflow is simulated by specifying inlet velocity, outlet pressure, and wall boundary conditions. The simulation is used to visualize pressure contours, velocity contours, and streamlines, allowing evaluation of drag, wake formation, and aerodynamic stability. Finally, the original fin design is optimized by modifying its geometry to reduce structural stress and aerodynamic drag. The performance of the optimized design is compared with the original using engineering observations and simulation results. - Copy
