A Concept of the Interactive Information and Modeling System for Gas Dynamics and Multidisciplinary Research

This paper describes the general idea and the implementation of the Interactive information and modeling system – an integrated environment that combines computational modules for modeling the aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics of re-entry space vehicles with the large collection of different information materials on this topic. This system provides interactive mechanisms for performing numerical simulation of processes around a vehicle and analysis of the results. The paper describes and illustrates the internal organization and the composition of the system. Examples of the computational and information output are presented together with the simplified working scenario. The system has the unified implementation for Windows and Linux operation systems and can be deployed on any modern high-performance personal computer.
