Book Description
The prediction of radiative transfers is required in many applications such as the re-entry of space vehicles in the atmosphere. The present work is articulated around three large axes devoted to the study of the radiation emitted from CO2-N2 plasmas for Martian atmospheric entry applications. The first part is dedicated to the construction of spectroscopic databases useful for high resolution radiation prediction of CO2-N2 mixtures for temperatures ranging from 2000 K to 50000 K. The work was especially focused on the construction of exhaustive data related to bound-bound radiative transitions of CO2, CO, CO+ and CN molecules.The second part is dedicated to the presentation and the exploitation of an experimental bench including a microwave plasma torch working at atmospheric pressure. Optical diagnostic benches for emission spectroscopy in the UV, visible and near infrared are used. Measured spectra for CO2 and CO2(97%)-N2(3%) plasmas, were analysed in order to characterise the thermodynamic state. The plasma was found at the equilibrium and the temperature of the CO2 and CO2(97%)-N2(3%) plasmas was found to be at 5400 K and 6500 K respectively. In the third part, a radiative properties model is developed suitable for the prediction of radiative in the framework of multi-temperature description of the thermodynamic state of the atmospheric entry plasma. This approach is combined with the available spectroscopic databases in order to predict radiative transfer for Mars and Earth atmospheric entry.
