Material-dependent catalytic recombination modeling for hypersonic flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model to predict catalytic recombination rates of O and N atoms over silica re-entry thermal protection system is reported, which follows the general approach of Halpern and Rosner, but adds estimates of some key physical mechanism parameters based on realistic surface potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical analysis of deterioration in heat transfer to near-critical rocket propellants
TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations of near-critical fluids flowing in uniformly heated straight tubes are carried out, each characterized by a different wall heat flux, and the nearcritical-methane flow condition that exhi...

Numerical Analysis of Nozzle Material Thermochemical Erosion in Hybrid Rocket Engines
Daniele Bianchi,Francesco Nasuti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the erosion behavior of graphite nozzles in hybrid engines at different operating conditions and compare results with those obtained for solid motors was studied. But the main distinctive feature of hybrid engine operating conditions is a greater concentration of oxygen-containing combustion products than solid motors.
Numerical Analysis of Three-Dimensional Flow of Supercritical Fluid in Asymmetrically Heated Channels
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical approach to study the turbulent flow of supercritical fluids is presented and validated by comparison with experimental data in an asymmetrically heated three-dimensional channel with a high-aspect ratio (channel height-to-width ratio).

Numerical Analysis of Three-Dimensional Flow of Supercritical Fluid in Cooling Channels
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical approach to study the turbulent flow of supercritical fluids is presented and validated by comparison with experimental data in an asymmetrically heated three-dimensional channel with a high-aspect ratio (channel height-to-width ratio).
