Free Online VKI Seminar - Hypersonic gas-surface interactions (and bourbon)
We are happy to invite you to the online seminar on “Hypersonic gas-surface interactions (and bourbon)” that will be delivered by Prof. Alexandre Martin, University Research Professor at the University of Kentucky on 1 July from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM.
Abstract: For extra-orbital missions, ablative materials have always been, and still remain, the primary choice for the design of atmospheric entry heat shields. Because of the many uncertainties associated with the usage of such material in complex aerothermal flow environments, it is important to understand and quantify the effects of the phenomena at play. Many specific areas of research can lead to a better understanding of the underlying physics of aerothermodynamic ablation. More specifically, the topics discussed will touch upon the coupling of material response with CFD codes, using a traditional and a unified approach, as well as the modeling of the spallation phenomenon, and its root in volumetric ablation. Finally, a novel application of the tools developed for heat shield modeling will be discussed: bourbon flavor profil design.
