An Integrated Experimental and Computational Study of Heating due to Surface Catalysis under Hypersonic Conditions

Abstract

This report details the collaboration between the University of Minnesota and the Von Karman Institute. There were two main goals to this collaborative project: (1) To use the US3D code to validate the LHTS approach employed by VKI. Since LHTS is a very useful and widely used technique used to interpret ICP data, a better understanding of its accuracy and potential limitations would be a valuable contribution. (2) To use the US3D code to directly interpret ICP data and thereby develop new high-fidelity models for high-temperature gas-surface interactions. This report details the collaboration which occurred August 2011-February 2012.
