Description:
The Galileo probe, scheduled for launch in 1985, will experience the most severe heating environment ever encountered for a planetary mission, and the probe design should be based on a reliable definition of the aerothermal environment during entry. Significant advances in numerical computations make possible the prediction of such complicated flowfields, which include the effects of massive ablation injection, radiative transfer, turbulence, shape change and small angle of attack. Also included is a discussion of modeling and data inputs for numerical computations as deduced from both experimental and analytical studies concerning: radiation, transport and thermodynamic properties; probe afterbody flowfield and heating conditions; and the role of ablator spallation.
