Numerical investigation of an active TPS for a wing leading edge exposed to high temperature air behind a strong bow shock wave

Abstract An array of subsonic counter-flow jets is studied as an active thermal protection system (TPS) for wing leading edges of hypersonic vehicles. The performance is numerically estimated in the model case of a circular cylinder on the basis of the 2D compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In con...
