[more ▼] In the framework of the creation of an aerothermodynamic database for the design the Intermediate Experimental Vehicle, surface properties of heat shield materials that represent the boundary conditions are reviewed. Catalytic and radiative characteristics available in the literature are critically analyzed and summarized. It turns out that large uncertainties on the parameters exist. Finally, simple and conservative values are proposed.

[more ▼] The principles of the gas-surface-interaction taking place in the chemically reacting flow around an atmospheric re-entry vehicle are investigated. It turns out that the currently very often used approach employing a recombination coefficient has a limited applicability. Serious concerns arise when the interaction model is extrapolated from ground to flight tests. A mechanism based approach taking into account every interaction step is therefore proposed for the carbon dioxide interaction with platinum. The necessary reaction rates are determined using a microscopic model, which are then used in a continuum viscous flow simulation. The dependence of the catalysis on the outer flow conditions and also on the wall temperature is demonstrated.

[more ▼] A methodology that determines chemical surface properties is presented. It has been developed by Russian scientists in order to test Thermal Protection Systems for re-entering vehicles. It is based on experimental measurements and numerical simulations. Its reliability has been investigated and it was found that the source of the largest uncertainty is the heat flux measurement compared with the error that comes from the other measurements and modeling constraints.
