  A Review: Drag Reduction in Aerospace Vehicles Using Aerospikes

  By Vishnu Kashyap, Navdeep Singh, Shivani Sharma, Jayanta Sinha

  Abstract: Vehicles flying in supersonic and hypersonic region develop a bow shock in front of the blunt body leading to an increase in the pressure and temperature. This increased pressure further leads to higher drag and heat transfer depending on the inflow Mach no. A spike at the tip alters the flow field in the vicinity of main body, thereby reducing drag. Our study focuses on how the flow over the …
