Numerical analysis of thermal radiation of spacecraft on orbit based on SINDA/FLUINT

Abstract

Thermal stability is an important indicator to measure the reliability of aerospace equipment, and the space thermal environment is complex, and the commonly used thermal analysis software for ground equipment can no longer meet the needs. For this reason, based on the thermal design analysis software SINDA/FLUINT, taking a spacecraft as the research object, the thermal balance equation is first established. Then, use the thermal desktop software to establish a numerical model, and use the SINDA/FLUINT software to solve the heat transfer process. Finally, the thermal desktop is used to post-process the calculation results and analyse the thermal radiation of the spacecraft.
