Abstract
A transient, one-dimensional numerical model is developed to describe the processes of transpiration cooling and ablation of the porous matrix used for the cooling. This model is based on the assumption of local thermal equilibrium. The problem of moving boundary due to ablation of the porous matrix is treated by the front-fixing method. This paper discusses the results of numerical simulations under different conditions and control parameters of ablation process. It was found that cooling effects and ablation processes are influenced by the coolant mass flow rate, the intensity of the heat flux, and the initial temperature at the start of transpiration cooling. In additional to the above three parameters, the Stefan number and the Biot number can also influence the transient cooling process, control ablative thickness of the porous plate by the reduction of ablative speed and duration, respectively.
