Atmospheric Flow at Alcantara Launch Center

Abstract: The Alcantara Launch Center (ALC) is the main Brazilian access to space. It is positioned over a complex terrain, and it has some important buildings for assembling, integration and launching activities, such as the Mobile Integration Tower. Being in a region of prevalent trade winds, the flow interaction between the complex terrain and the buildings can affect the safety of operations on the platform, and the dispersion of toxic gases emitted during the launching. The main objective of this work was to study … Show more

“…Different applications of CFD that have been utilized in the past have demonstrated success in a variety of fields of study such as parametrizing flow around various urban geometries ( (Baskaran & Kashef, 1996), (Heath, et al, 2007), (Tominaga & Stathopoulos, 2013), ), pedestrian-level wind studies ( (Stathopoulos, 2006), (Mochida & Lun, 2008), , , (Weerasuriya, et al, 2018), (Streichenberger, et al, 2021)), and flow over escarpments, hills, and valleys ( (Bergeles, 1985), (Paterson & Holmes, 1993), (Maurizi, 2000), (Bitsuamlak, et al, 2002), (Chung & Bienkiewicz, 2004), (Lun, et al, 2007), (Blocken, et al, 2015), (Klippel, et al, 2022)). Although CFD simulations require licensing costs, expertise to set up the model, and computational time, it is less expensive and more widely available than wind tunnel facilities (Blocken, et al, 2016).…”
