Welcome to our cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of the SpaceX Starship's iconic "belly flop" maneuver. This page showcases our groundbreaking work utilizing 160GB of GPU VRAM to create the most detailed and accurate simulation of Starship's descent to date.
Our team of aerospace engineers and computer scientists have pushed the boundaries of CFD technology to bring you this unprecedented look at the aerodynamics of Starship's descent. By harnessing the power of 160GB of GPU VRAM, we've created a simulation with unparalleled resolution and accuracy.
The visualization above represents a slice of our full simulation. In the full version, users can interact with the 3D model, adjusting variables such as angle of attack, atmospheric conditions, and vehicle speed to see real-time changes in the fluid dynamics around Starship.
Our simulation has provided invaluable insights into the aerodynamics of Starship's belly flop maneuver:
These findings are already being used by SpaceX to refine Starship's design and control systems, potentially increasing the safety and reliability of future missions.
We're not stopping here. Our next steps include:
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of aerospace simulation technology!
