Features: Re-entry physics is an interdisciplinary field encompassing hypersonic aerodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and more, representing one of the most challenging areas in modern aerospace and aerospace engineering. This book introduces numerical and engineering solution methods for hypersonic, high-temperature gas flow around re-entry bodies and their wakes, fundamental theories and engineering calculation methods for determining the spectral radiation of high-temperature gases, and basic methods for determining the radar cross-section of turbulent wakes and re-entry bodies with plasma coverage. It also covers ground-based equipment, diagnostic principles, and main methods for measuring high-temperature gas spectral radiation and electron number density. The book emphasizes practical applications, focusing on specific methods for solving fundamental re-entry physics problems while reflecting the latest developments and applications in this field. It serves as a reference for engineering researchers in hypersonic aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, high-temperature gas radiation, electromagnetic scattering, and related fields, as well as graduate students in these disciplines.
