Fairings are provided to cover hypersonic air breathing vehicle to protect it from adverse aerodynamic loading and kinetic heating. Separation dynamics of fairings is an important event in the launch of vehicle. Extensive computational fluid dynamics simulations are carried out for the design of fairings and vehicle and selection of time sequences of various separation events. A ground test of fairing separation is conducted in the sled facility to check the structural integrity and functionality of various separation mechanisms and flight hardware. Simulations have been carried out to study the separation dynamics of fairings at test conditions using grid-free Euler solver to get the aerodynamic loads and the loads are integrated to get the trajectory of fairings. The aerodynamic loads are provided to verify the structural integrity of various components and the trajectory of panels is used in the test planning. The pressure distributions on the vehicle are compared with the test results.

Abstract. A month (4 May to 8 June 2008) of ambient aerosol, air ion and gas phase sampling (Finokalia Aerosol Measurement Experiment 2008, FAME-08) was conducted at Finokalia, on the island of Crete, Greece. The purpose of the study was to characterize the physical and chemical properties of aged aerosol and to investigate new particle formation. Measurements included aerosol and air ion size distributions, size-resolved chemical composition, organic aerosol thermal volatility, water uptake and particle optical properties (light scattering and absorption). Statistical analysis of the aerosol mass concentration variations revealed the absence of diurnal patterns suggesting the lack of strong local sources. Sulfates accounted for approximately half of the particulate matter less than 1 micrometer in diameter (PM1) and organics for 26%. The PM1 organic aerosol fraction was highly oxidized with 80% water soluble. The supermicrometer particles were dominated by crustal components (50%), sea salt (24%) and nitrates (16%). The organic carbon to elemental carbon (OC/EC) ratio correlated with ozone measurements but with a one-day lag. The average OC/EC ratio for the study period was equal to 5.4. For three days air masses from North Africa resulted in a 6-fold increase of particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10) and a decrease of the OC/EC ratio by a factor of 2. Back trajectory analysis, based on FLEXPART footprint plots, identified five source regions (Athens, Greece, Africa, other continental and marine), each of which influenced the PM1 aerosol composition and properties. Marine air masses had the lowest PM1 concentrations and air masses from the Balkans, Turkey and Eastern Europe the highest.
