Abstract:A method of low temperature, approximate simulation for the sublimation of a graphite heat shield under the Jovian entry condition is studied. A set of algebraic equations was derived to approximate governing equations and boundary conditions based on the order-of-magnitude analysis. Characteristic quantities, such as wail temperature and subliming velocity, are predicted. Similarity parameters needed to simulate the most dominant phenomena of the Jovian entry flow are also given. An approximate simulation of … 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.
