USER'S MANUAL. VOLUME II. ABLATION MASS LOSS PROGRAM (M367).

Abstract

The program described herein is a simple method for predicting the ablation performance of a reentry vehicle. The program calculates the heating rates and total mass loss for a conical vehicle during a hypothetical reentry. This report discusses the related theory and program functions, and presents a sample case for further clarity. The program is written in FORTRAN IV computer language. This report is one of six volumes providing users' manuals for a series of computer programs developed for the Air Force Weapons Laboratory. (Author)
