High Speed re-entry represents a current challenge for space exploration programs. At such flight conditions shock layer radiation becomes a substantial part of the heat-transfer to the wall in addition to the Gas-Surface interaction (GSI) phenomena, with possible coupling effects.
The objective of this special course will focus on the extreme re-entry situations where the physical phenomena are much more pronounced and start to interplay. The ground testing capabilities and limitations for high speed re-entry will be reviewed with the associated instrumentation. Radiation modeling as well as the modeling development for GSI in such conditions will be presented. The consistent integration of those high fidelity models into CFD codes will be inspected with their reliability to provide accurate ground-to-flight extrapolation.
!This lecture series is opened to all NATO Nations, Australia, Japan and the Republic of Korea.
