NSMB Validation Cases

RETALT2

Launcher-flow validation at Mach 5.3 and zero angle of attack, comparing NSMB with TAU and experimental imagery.

UFN: NSMB vs Experiment vs TAU

At Mach 5.3 and α = 0°, read the same launcher condition in two stages: first compare NSMB with DLR TAU, then correlate the NSMB field with the experimental flow visualisation.
