...Sergey T. Surzhikov To design space vehicles aimed for returning payloads from a geostationary orbit, the Moon and other large or small planets of Solar system, a knowledge of the total (convective and radiative) heating from an environment is required. It is well known that the radiative heat load...

... fluxes that can be generated in hypersonic flight; the latter can be in excess of 1   MW / m 2 . High heat fluxes are generated on the surfaces of hypersonic vehicles in flight and on the surfaces of space vehicles during reentry. Other applications in which high heat fluxes...
