The analysis of the influence of the turbulence model selection on the parameters of interaction of a supersonic jet with an obstacle by R. A. Peshkov, A. S. Shmetkova, O. V. Ispravnikova, Ju. L. Suskina

“…Due to the intense loading of the elements of launch structures when exposed to rocket engine jets, it is obvious that it is necessary to determine the gas-dynamic, thermal and other loads that occur during the launch of the launch vehicle. Numerical modeling using application programs is one of the widely used methods of their calculation, since physical modeling requires significant resources. …”
