Measurements of heat transfer on hemispheres at rarefied flow conditions using liquid crystals

In the study of space debris re-entry heating, there are to this day significant uncertainties in the distribution of thermal fluxes incident upon re-entering spacecraft and debris. In order to improve the accuracy of such calculations, experiments have been conducted in the recently refurbished Oxf...
