Radiation in low density hypervelocity flows
This thesis investigates the radiative heat transfer encountered in rarefied, hypervelocity flow conditions such as would be experienced during an aerocapture mission... -
Elaboration of collisional-radiative models applied to atmospheric entry into...
The hypersonic entry of a body into the upper layers of a planetary atmosphere leads to the formation of a plasma resulting from the intense compression of the... -
Collisional-radiative and macroscopic models for the thermochemical relaxatio...
The thermo-chemical relaxation of nitrogen hypersonic flows behind strong shocks and in nozzle expansions is investigated with 1D flow simulations and detailed...
