Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of the Ablation Process of Carbon/Carbon Composites Using High Velocity Oxygen Fuel System

Figure 6

Numerical simulation of the C/C composites with a single paralleled (Direction I) and a single perpendicular fiber (Direction II), respectively: (a) and (d) are geometrical dimensions; (b) and (e) are overall temperature field; (c) and (f) are temperature field of the fiber bundle (note that the temperature contours are plotted in dimensionless units, where temperature value of 0 refers to the lowest temperature and value of 1 denotes the highest temperature).
