Hypersonic Applications: Physical Models for Interdisciplinary Simulation – On-Demand Short Course
Instructed by experts from the AIAA Thermophysics Technical Committee
ü Updated and expanded course coving the most important topics in Hypersonic Simulation
ü All students will receive an AIAA Certificate of Completion at the end of the course
OVERVIEW
Hypersonic numerical simulation developments and
improvements are critical to the advancement of current and future sustained
high-speed flights and interplanetary explorations. In order to achieve a
higher degree of fidelity to the high-enthalpy hypersonic flows, physical
models must venture into an interdisciplinary domain by integrating chemical
kinetics, ionization, quantum transition, radiation, and electromagnetics with
aerodynamics. This unique 12-hour short course is meant to introduce attendants
to physical models for interdisciplinary simulation of hypersonic applications,
with the emphasis on introduction and evaluation of various physical models and
their applications to high-enthalpy hypersonic flows. Topics include internal
energy excitations, nonequilibrium chemical kinetics, transport properties
(diffusivity, viscosity, and thermal conductivity), energy relaxations,
radiative heat transfer, weakly ionized gas, and surface ablation.
