Microscale Thermal–Structural Modeling for Carbon Fibers Subjected to a Hypersonic Boundary Layer

What is it about?

This paper demonstrates a fully coupled material response and Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) solver. We employ this approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the energy, mass, and momentum transfer (forces) from a hypersonic boundary layer to the structure forming a thermal protection system (TPS), commonly known as heat shields.
