title = "Gas/Surface interaction study on ceramic matrix composite thermal protection system in the VKI Plasmatron facility",
abstract = "An experimental campaign dedicated to the characterization of a silicon carbide based thermal protection system is performed in the Plasmatron wind tunnel at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. Emissivity, catalycity and oxidation behavior for representative specimens are investigated under a wide set of operating conditions in order to reproduce typical reentry flight situations. Intrusive measurements for flow characterization are used together with infrared techniques and optical emission spectroscopy that provide diagnostic of the test articles surface and the surrounding environment. Experimental data are postprocessed by means of numerical simulations that allow flow enthalpy rebuilding and characterization of the boundary layer chemistry for the different conditions investigated.",
