Predicting aerothermal heating in complex high-speed flows

The development of supersonic and hypersonic vehicles demands careful consideration of the flow-induced heating on all the exposed surfaces. Given the cost and challenges associated with these complex flows, predictive modelling represents an essential component to the design strategies of these aerospace vehicles. The present work seeks to understand the modelling and numerical errors associated with the use of these predictive models under complex heat transfer conditions.
