Reentry vehicle ablation

Maxime Stuck thesis « Ablation d’un matériau de protection thermique en régime turbulent » (« Thermal protection material ablation in turbulent regime ») has been defended on December 12th 2023 (ISAE-Université de Toulouse). The thesis addresses the coupling between ablation and turbulence that triggers the apparition of surface roughnesses on hypersonic vehicles ablative TPS during […]

A successful symposium

The second edition[1] of the European Symposium on laminar/turbulent Transition in Hypersonic Regime (TRANSITION 2023) has been organized by HyFAR-ARA (www.hyfar-ara.org) at Cap Sciences (Bordeaux, France) from October 4th to  6th 2023. During 3 days this event has gathered 50 scientists and engineers coming from Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, US and issued from academic, […]

THE CNES JOINS HyFAR-ARA

On May 5th 2023, the administration board of HyFAR-ARA officially validated CNES as new member of the association. The French space agency (CNES, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) is a public administration with industrial and commercial purposes. CNES is under supervision of the French Ministries of the Economy, Defense and Research. CNES missions is to steer […]
