How Stallion 3D fits a rocket workflow

Import & set conditions

  • Import your STL (fins, nose cone, body, fairings).
  • Choose speed/altitude or Mach; sweep AoA & cross‑flow (0–360°).
  • Set actuator disks to emulate jet/plume effects if needed.

Solve with high‑fidelity CFD

  • RANS k‑ε for subsonic, transonic & supersonic regimes.
  • Flux‑vector splitting captures shocks cleanly.
  • Optional quasi‑steady rotation for spin studies.

Read what matters

  • CL, CD, CM; yaw/roll/pitch moments & stability derivatives.
  • Surface contours of Cp, Mach, velocity, temperature.
  • Slice plots and streamlines to visualize separation & shocks.

Why Stallion 3D for rockets?

Stallion 3D was built to validate complex aerodynamic designs quickly & accurately. It fills the gap between low‑accuracy vortex methods and expensive cloud CFD — all computations run on your Windows PC, so there are no hidden cloud costs. Automatic grid generation, robust RANS/k‑ε solvers, and interactive visualization let you evaluate stability and loads in minutes, not days.
