Thermodynamics has always been a fundamental and necessary discipline in support of fluid dynamics. In subsonic and (moderately) supersonic flows, the thermodynamic description of the fluid is relatively simple and can be accomplished at macroscopic, phenomenological level. Things complicate when energy densities in the flow field increase, as in aerothermodynamics. Nonequilibrium processes...
This keynote deliver the status of the ESA activities in the newly created area of flight vehicle engineering and aerothermodynamics. The keynote show mission, programs, technologies, and techniques on the above mentioned areas and provides an overview of the Agency current and upcoming activities.
This keynote will also include a small round table about ESA upcoming research activities on...
