Abstract
A numerical study on a reduction of aerodynamic heating by opposing jet in supersonic flow has been conducted. Flow field around a hemisphere model is calculated in supersonic free stream of Mach number 3.98 and the coolant gas is injected through the sonic nozzle at the nose of the model. In numerical analysis, axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations are solved by an implicit finite difference method, and k-co turbulence model is used. According to the investigation of various conditions of opposing jet, important phenomena of flow field and some effective jet conditions are found. It becomes clear that a performance of the thermal protection system by opposing jet is greatly affected by jet conditions.
