Abstract
Numerical simulation of nonequilibrium shock-layer flows was performed for the reentry conditions of MUSES-C with carbonaceous ablation effects by an extended merged shock-layer theory based on a 4-temperature and 16 chemical species model. The numerical calculations assumed a continuum approach and the system of governing equations constituted a two-point boundary value problem on a stagnation-point streamline, which was solved numerically by the SAR method. The effects of ablation on temperatures and flowfields were discussed in detail. It was found that the ablation from a body surface had significantly influence on various physico-chemical values in the merged shock-layer.
