Abstract
This paper describes a numerical inverse method used in temperature-sensitive-paint measurements for quantitative global heat flux diagnostics in hypersonic tunnels. An iterative algorithm is developed to solve the one-dimensional inverse heat transfer problem for unsteady heat flux into a polymer layer (temperature-sensitive paint) on a semi-infinite base, where the temperature dependencies of the thermal properties of materials are taken intoaccount.Surfaceheat fluxdistributionsonconemodelsarecalculatedbyusingthisalgorithmfromtemperaturesensitive-paint images acquired in hypersonic wind tunnel testing.
