Aerodynamic Heating Calculator

The Aerodynamic Heating Equation is used to calculate the heat flux experienced by a reentering spacecraft or object moving through a fluid medium, typically the Earth’s atmosphere.

 

  • is the heat flux,
  • is the atmospheric density,
  • is the velocity of the object relative to the atmosphere,
  • is the lift coefficient.
