Development of Non-Uniform Radiation Solution Methods for Atmospheric Re-Entry Using Detailed Thermal Modeling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288395378)

The line-by-line accurate spectral radiation solver SPRADIAN was integrated with the multi-temperature hypersonic flow-solver NH7Air for the purpose of predicting the radiation incident on the surface of a hypersonic re-entry vehicle. Atomic and molecular radiation mechanisms are considered for chemical species present in an Earth atmosphere re-entry. A new numerical method of radiation propagation is presented that is capable of accurately predicting the radiation propagation through a non-uniform radiation field. This method also introduces a unique treatment of the internal energy of each chemical species, independently tracking the vibrational temperatures of all molecular species.
