Our research focuses on the simulation of high-enthalpy flows as experienced during the atmospheric reentry of a hypersonic vehicle. I develop, implement, and use computational fluid mechanics tools to estimate its aerothermodynamic loads. Using ray tracing, I estimate the divergent heat flux in the gas phase, and compute the radiation signature as seen from a sensor many kilometers away from the reentry object.
