Implementation of Surface Radiation and Fluid-Structure Thermal Coupling in Atmospheric Reentry

During atmospheric reentry, radiative heating is one of the most important component of the total heat flux. In this paper, we investigate how the thermal radiation coming from the postshock region interacts with the spacecraft structure. A model that takes into account the radiation reflected by th...
