Aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics and thermal protection system response in high-
enthalpy and high-speed flow is heat transfer with interface effects in nature. Modelling and …

Heterogeneous catalysis plays an important role in causing the aerodynamic heating surge
in the hypersonic nonequilibrium flow/thermal protection material interactions for high-speed …

During atmospheric reentry, the vehicle surface is exposed to highly non-equilibrium flow.
The vehicle surface can experience heterogeneous recombination of reactive atoms, which …

A state-to-state self-consistent model of the Hydrogen-Helium mixture has been applied to
investigate the ionization kinetics during the entry of a capsule in the atmosphere of a …

MOdels framework (SU2-NEMO) is an open-source code for modeling high-enthalpy …

Severe epistemic uncertainties not only can affect the prescription of parameters within a
given model but also the choice of models we make to interpret and infer from experimental …

Gas-surface interaction phenomena have a strong impact on the heat flux experienced by
atmospheric entry bodies in the hypersonic regime. Numerically, they can be expressed as a …

This work deals with the inference of catalytic recombination parameters from plasma wind
tunnel experiments for reusable thermal protection materials. One of the critical factors …

In this paper, we examine how to build coarse-grain transport models consistently from the
kinetic to fluid regimes. The internal energy of the gas particles is described through a state …

Gas-surface reaction mechanisms and rates were developed for an air–titanium surface to
support finite-rate catalytic surface reaction models used in computational fluid dynamics …
