Research on thermal control system of Hypersonic Glide Vehicle

Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) is one of the most possible ways to put the available hypersonic technology into practice. It is very important for the thermal protection system (TPS) of HGV to predict the heating on the surface fleetly and accurately. In this paper, one quick-predict method for a typical HGV with conically derived waverider construction and skip-glide trajectory was investigated firstly. Based on this method, the heating of the stagnation point vary with the flight time was obtained as well as the heating of the leading edge, the upper and lower surface on the trajectory position where the heating is the most serious. All of the studies might improve people´s understanding about the thermodynamics situation on the surface of HGV.
