Non-reacting Numerical Simulation of Axisymmetric Trapped Vortex Combustor (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
DAKKA, S., Singh, K., Jefferson-Loveday, R., & Serhat, H. (2023, December). Non-reacting Numerical Simulation of Axisymmetric Trapped Vortex Combustor. Presented at ICAAAE 2023: 17. International Conference on Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, London

This paper will focus on suitability of trapped vortex combustor as a candidate for gas turbine combustor objective to minimize pressure drop across combustor and investigating aerodynamic performance. Non-reacting simulation of axisymmetric cavity t... Read More about Non-reacting Numerical Simulation of Axisymmetric Trapped Vortex Combustor.

Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taggart, A., Harris, J., Pushparaj, N., & Cappelletti, C. (2023, October). Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal. Presented at 74th International Astronautical Congress. Symposium A6. 21st IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE DEBRIS, Baku, Azerbaijan

Since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, over 6000 rockets and more than 11,300 satellites have been launched into space, resulting in a high number of artificial space debris in orbit around Earth. Of this debris, there are over one million objects be... Read More about Breaking the Cycle: Novel Capture Mechanisms for Active Space Debris Removal.

Frequent Deep-Space Access Strategy for Venus Aeronomic Exploration Mission using Earth-Synchronous Orbits (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ito, D., Pushparaj, N., & Kawakatsu, Y. (2023, October). Frequent Deep-Space Access Strategy for Venus Aeronomic Exploration Mission using Earth-Synchronous Orbits. Presented at 74th International Astronautical Congress. Symposium B4. 30th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SMALL SATELLITE MISSIONS, Baku, Azerbaijan

Geostationary transfer orbits (GTO) are earth-centric orbits widely used for kick-stage operations of satellites for deep space exploration missions. A rideshare spacecraft parked or deployed in GTOs usually requires minimal transfer cost compared to...

Quasi-solar Synchronous Orbit around the Moon based on Spatial Distant Retrograde Orbits (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Peng, L., Liang, Y., Pushparaj, N., & Shi, P. (2023, October). Quasi-solar Synchronous Orbit around the Moon based on Spatial Distant Retrograde Orbits. Presented at 74th International Astronautical Congress. Symposium A5. 26th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON HUMAN EXPLORATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, Baku, Azerbaijan

The last several decades have witnessed the rapid development of lunar exploration, promoting researches on various types of lunar orbits including Distant Retrograde Orbits (abbr. DRO) that are feasible for orbiting tasks due to their stability. Man... Read More about Quasi-solar Synchronous Orbit around the Moon based on Spatial Distant Retrograde Orbits.

Optimal Transfer Trajectories between Relative Quasi-Satellite Orbits (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pushparaj, N., Hiraiwa, N., & Bando, M. (2023, October). Optimal Transfer Trajectories between Relative Quasi-Satellite Orbits. Presented at 74th International Astronautical Congress, Baku, Azerbaijan

In recent years, there has been growing interest in space exploration, particularly in exploring the Martian system. The moons Phobos and Deimos of Mars may hold the key to understanding how the Solar system formed. As a result, space agencies like N...
