Plot of the month: Cart3D simulation of shuttle debris

September 5, 2003 in Aerospace, Case Studies, Research, Tecplot 360 Case Studies

Using Tecplot 360, foam debris trajectory from NASA's Cart3D simulation package is visualized. A 1.67 pound slab of insulating foam is seen falling off the external tank after Columbia's launch and hitting the left wing. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) has identified a debris event like this as the most likely cause of the Columbia disaster. This image was used in the CAIB's final report.
