Abstract:

This report details the collaboration between the University of Minnesota and the Von Karman Institute. There were two main goals to this collaborative project 1 To use the US3D code to validate the LHTS approach employed by VKI. Since LHTS is a very useful and widely used technique used to interpret ICP data, a better understanding of its accuracy and potential limitations would be a valuable contribution. 2 To use the US3D code to directly interpret ICP data and thereby develop new high-fidelity models for high-temperature gas-surface interactions. This report details the collaboration which occurred August 2011-February 2012.
