View-Factor-Based Radiation Transport in a Hypersonic Shock Layer

摘要

In summary, the results show that the use of tangent slab with an appropriate correction factor is a reasonable design choice in the stagnation region. However, the tangent-slab approximation can be extremely conservative in the shoulder region, where the underlying assumptions are violated. Also, radiative heating on the afterbody, where the shock does not conform to the shape of the surface, is likely to be poorly predicted if the tangent-slab model is used.
