Surface instabilities in laminar compressible boundary layers with sublimation

Blaine Vollmer, Alberto Padovan, Daniel J. Bodony

Surface patterns on ablating materials are observed in high-speed ground and flight tests, but the mechanisms behind their formation are not known. In this paper, the origin of sur…

Data-driven model reduction via non-intrusive optimization of projection operators and reduced-order dynamics

Alberto Padovan, Blaine Vollmer, Daniel J. Bodony

Computing reduced-order models using non-intrusive methods is particularly attractive for systems that are simulated using black-box solvers. However, obtaining accurate data-drive…

An Extended B' Formulation for Ablating-Surface Boundary Conditions

Alberto Padovan, Blaine Vollmer, Francesco Panerai +3

The B' formulation can be understood as a mass and energy conservation formalism at a reacting singular surface. In hypersonics applications, it is typically used to compute the ch…
