Performance of transpiration cooled heat shields for re-entry vehicles
This paper presents results of a system study of transpiration cooled thermal protection systems for Earth re-entry. The cooling performance for sustained hypersonic flight and transient re-entry of a blunt cone geometry is assessed. A simplified numerical model is used to calculate the transient te...
