The complex flow field caused by the shape of the large blunt cone makes it unstable in transonic and supersonic flight, so its dynamic characteristics need to be analyzed. This paper analyzes the dynamic characteristics of the reentry capsule by computational fluid dynamics(CFD) numerical simulation. The pitching combined dynamic derivative was obtained by simulation of forced pitching oscillation of the flight vehicle using the rigid dynamic grid; the time difference derivative was obtained by simulation of plunging of the flight vehicle using the rigid dynamic grid, too. The direct dynamic derivative was gained by negating the plunging derivative from sum. This paper simulates the pitching and plunging motion of NACA0012 air foil and hypersonic ballistic shape(HBS). The results of the simulation are consistent with the references. The Mars exploration rover entry capsule was simulated and analyzed to ensure a basis for the aerodynamic design and control of the reentry capsule.展开更多
