Calculation of carbon ablation on a re-entry body during supersonic/subsonic flight

Calculation of carbon ablation on a re-entry body during supersonic/subsonic flight

A simplified but accurate procedure for calculating carbon recession and temperature histories of re-entry bodies designed to slow down to subsonic speeds before impact is presented. The method accounts for finite rate chemistry and predicts results substantially different from diffusion-limited abl...

Zusammenfassung:A simplified but accurate procedure for calculating carbon recession and temperature histories of re-entry bodies designed to slow down to subsonic speeds before impact is presented. The method accounts for finite rate chemistry and predicts results substantially different from diffusion-limited ablation calculations.
