Improved Approximate Method for Computing Convective Heating on Hypersonic Vehicles
Improved Approximate Method for Computing Convective Heating on Hypersonic Vehicles is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Journal of Aerospace Engineering''. The main subjects of the publication include aerospace engineering, hypersonic speed, rotational symmetry, computational fluid dynamics, Kinetic theory, Inviscid flow, mechanics, turbulence, and computer science. The paper extends a previous modified axisymmetric analog method to predict heating rates on hypersonic vehicles in conjunction with inviscid computational fluid dynamic (CFD) codes which can provide more accurate inviscid solutions and are suited for complex configurations.
