Abstract:
Expansion tunnels are being used to simulate atmospheric entry conditions into Titan.New conditions for peak heat transfer at the stagnation point with 6.5km/s shock velocity were developed using in-house 1D CFD  code. Radiative heat flux will be measured using emission spectroscopy and radiation gauges. Emission spectroscopy provides information about the radiating species in the shock layer, and radiation gauges measure radiative heat flux on the surface of the scaled capsule. The aim is to improve the poor derstanding and  large  uncertainties (in excess of 30%) associated with the prediction of radiative heat flux at atmospheric entry. In a Titan atmospheric entry radiative heating accounts 
for a large percentage of the total heat load. A major contribution to this is the carbon content in Titan’s atmosphere, in the form of methane. Upon atmospheric entry the methane dissociate in the bow shock layer that envelopes the spacecraft, and recombine with atmospheric nitrogen to form cyanogen. Cyanogen is expected to produce 99% of the radiation in the shock layer, and this will be verified by emission spectra recorded in the experiments. The radiation gauges consist of thin film heat gauge sensor mounted behind a viewing window, separating convective heating from the measured radiative heating. An optical set up consisting of a set of convex lenses will be used to calibrate the 
radiation gauges against a known collimated LED (270W, 385nm).
