New Research Paper (03.04.2024)

This paper got published recently in the J. of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer. It came out of Volkan Coskun's PhD study. It is about the development of a material response solver that predicts the behavior of charring ablative materials that are used for thermal protection of high speed aerodynamic structures such as missiles. A novel reactor network approach is used for modeling pyrolysis gas flow inside the porous material. Effects of chemical and thermal non-equilibrium and influences of the porosity and permeability of the porous structure on the ablasion process are explored. Full paper can be accessed here.
