This study explores meteorite ablation using a free-piston driven expansion tube and a CW 4 kW fiber laser. Meteors, which are dust and rocks from comets or asteroids entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds (11.2 km/s to 72.8 km/s), emit light due to atmospheric compression and heating, occurring at altitudes of 80 km to 120 km. Analyzing their emission spectra can reveal their...
The study explores the impact of spectral radiative heat flux on material response by developing a coupling scheme between the KATS-MR code and a P1 approximation model for radiation transfer. A band model is created, dividing the spectral domain into small, unequal bands. Verification studies compare the band model’s results with pure conduction and the fully resolved radiative transfer,...
