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 the sublimation of a graphite heat shield is given with an air-dry ice model. The simulation with the air-dry ice model may be experimentally conducted at a lower temperature of 3000-6000 K instead of at the entry condition ot 14000 K. The rate of sublimation of the graphite predicted by the present algebraic approximation agrees to the order of magnitude with extrapolated data. The limitation of the Simulation method and its utility are discussed.
