Abstract

Oxidation is a prominent factor in degradation of carbon based ablative materials at high temperatures, resulting in mass loss and material recession through chemical and mechanical erosion. In this work, a finite rate carbon oxidation model coupled with surface recession is implemented in the Porous Ablation and Thermal Response (Panther) software to investigate carbon oxidation by atomic oxygen over a range of temperatures and pressures. Panther is utilized to investigate the finite rate oxidation model proposed by Swaminathan-Gopalan et al. at conditions of higher pressure and flux relative to the experiments it was built on.
