The inclusion of aerospike on blunt nose body of hypersonic vehicle has been considered to be the simplest and most efficient technique for a concurrent reduction of both aeroheating and wave drag due to hypersonic speed. However, the thermal and mechanical behavior of aerospike structure under the coupling effect of aerodynamic force and aeroheating remains unclear. In this study, the thermal and structural response of aerospike mounted on the blunt nose body of hypersonic vehicle was numerically simulated by applying 3 D fluid-thermal-structural coupling method based on loosely-coupled strategy. In the simulation, the angle-of-attack and the spike’s length and diameter are differently set as α = 0°–10°, L/D = 1–2 and d/D = 0.05–0.15, respectively. Through the parametric study, the following results were obtained. Firstly, the increase of vehicle’s angle-of-attack and spike’s length unfavorably affect the thermal and structural response of aerospike. Secondly, the increase of spike’s diameter can improve its structural response characteristic. Finally, the aerospike with the angle-of-attack of 0° and the length and diameter of L/D = 1 and d/D = 0.15, respectively, is preferred in consideration of the effect of flight angle-of-attack and spike’s geometrical structure on the thermal and structural response of spike and the drag reduction of vehicle. The numerical calculation results provide a technical support for the safe design of aerospike.
