Resumen
In this study, two analysis strategies were used to investigate the melt-ablation process of the copper specimen plate in the scaled ducted launcher. The reliability of the simulation results of the two analysis strategies was confirmed by comparing the two-way fluid-thermal-ablation coupled analysis (two-way FTA-CA) strategy with two-way fluid-thermal-ablation loosely coupled analysis (two-way FTA-LCA) strategy. Then, the accuracy of the FTA-LCA strategy was validated by comparing the simulation results of the FTA-LCA strategy and experimental results from the experimental scale test. Finally, the FTA-LCA strategy used in this study can not only estimate the impingement surface heat flux into the copper plate when the inverse heat conduction analysis (IHCA) is not possible, but also provide the analysis solution accuracy and the considerable gain in computational efficiency for predicting the long-duration ablation problem in supersonic gas-particle two-phase exhaust plume impingement flow.
