Surface Slip Effect on Thermal Environment of Hypersonic Non-Equilibrium Flows

    Boundary slip effect caused by low gas density has an important influence on the thermal environment of the vehicles. Numerical studies on the boundary slip effect and accommodation for moment and energy have been carried out in this paper. The simulations considering slip boundary and surface catalysis are validated with Arc-jet test data. Mechanism and rules of impact on surface heat flux by different boundary slip level (Knudsen number from 0.0028 to 0.05) has been investigated in typical hypersonic flow conditions. The results show that mechanisms of boundary slip effect on mass diffusion heat flux and convective heat flux are different; slip boundary diminishes the convective heat, whereas enhances the mass diffusion heat flux. Smaller moment and energy accommodation coefficient is equivalent to more rarefaction. As Knudsen number goes up, the influences of accommodation on heatflux are enhanced, it mainly affects the convective heat flux.
