Abstract

AbstractA self‐consistent calculation model combining flow field and electromagnetic wave propagation is presented. The hypersonic flow field around the RAMC‐II vehicle at different reentry heights is numerically solved using a computational fluid dynamics technique with a two‐dimensional model, and then perform self‐consistent calculations in conjunction with electromagnetic wave propagation models. The dependence of wave frequency, polarization mode, incident angle, and plasma collision frequency on the wave propagation is presented. Electromagnetic wave propagation characteristics have been investigated experimentally with shock tube, and the experimental results are consistent with the simulation results. Conclusions in this article can be the foundation to study the interactions between the electromagnetic wave and the realistic reentry plasma sheath.
