Abstract

High speed flight induces extreme aerothermal loads on a vehicle. As a result, material selection and understanding material response to aerothermal loading is important. The presence of particles in the atmosphere and the potential for a vehicle to fly through precipitation at low altitudes may cause substantial damage to leading edges and control surfaces of high-speed flight vehciles. Computational techniques for modeling the physics of particles and droplets, and their interactions with solids in various flow regimes, are investigated, particularly those that might impact thermal protection systems for aircraft at high velocities. A multi-material fluid based approach for modeling problems in this regime is examined. This method combines Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) hydrodynamics with Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) and includes an anisotropic stress tensor and multi-zone physics.
