During the ascent of carrier rockets, the massively separated flow in the base region generates highly unsteady wall pressure fluctuations. The resulting dynamic loads can induce a response of the launcher structure called buffeting. To study the characteristics of the base flow behind three different configurations of the Ariane 5 launcher, improved delayed detached-eddy simulation in combination with unstructured grids is used. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the ability of improved delayed detached-eddy simulation to describe the impact of the connecting struts between central stage and boosters and to analyze the efficiency of a buffeting reduction device in the base region. Comparisons of the numerical results with time-resolved and time-averaged surface pressure data and particle-image-velocimetry measurements obtained from the German-Dutch High Speed Wind Tunnel are carried out in good agreement.
