Abstract:Reusable thermal protection systems are one of the key technologies that have to be improved in order to enable long-duration hypersonic flights and a more affordable access-to-space by means of single-stage-toorbit vehicles. The transpiration cooling has been demonstrated to be one of the most promising cooling techniques in terms of coolant mass saving and minimum disturbances of the external flow. The coupling of the boundary layer with the thermal response of selected porous materials plays a crucial role … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
