Popis: The numerical simulations carried out for the rocket engine development at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is presented. Although numerical simulations played a major role in the return to flight of the H-2A launch vehicle, the basic design of the rocket was initiated more than a decade ago. Back then, CFD was gradually spreading from the academia to the industrial society, but not to a revel where CFD was actively used as a design tool. Now, the remarkable progress in the performance of high-end computers and the advances in the simulation techniques have made CFD an indispensable tool for designing. In this paper, the research activities of developing numerical simulators of rocket engines and some numerical analysis carried out for the return to flight program of the H-2A launch vehicle are presented. Results show that CFD is beginning to expand its role as a tool for developing rocket engines.
