Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to determine experimentally the heat transfer on the second and third stages of Ariane launcher as well as on its integrated payload, during the separation of the second stage.
As a matter of fact, during the separation, the plumes issued from the second stage’s deceleration thrusters impinge upon the adjacent wall of the vehicle and possibly upon the satellite itself, involving interaction effects as far as forces and heat transfers are concerned.
Comparisons are made in the present paper between experimental heat transfer values obtained from measurements performed in the rarefied gas SR3 wind tunnel and theoretical values predicted by simplified semi-empirical models.
