Paper Session Topics
The four technical areas of focus for TFAWS 2023 are: Passive Thermal Control, Active Thermal/Fluids/Life Support, Aerothermal, and Cryogenic. An interdisciplinary session will also be included for those submissions that do not fit in a single category. Descriptions of each technical area of focus are shown below.
Active Thermal/Fluids/Life Support
- Fluids and CFD: analysis, design, and test
- Active thermal systems and control: components, thermal systems, analysis, and testing
- Life support: environmental control and life support systems
- Analytical model correlation to existing test or flight data
Passive Thermal
- Passive thermal systems & control: design, analysis, build, and test for space and aeronautics
- Spacecraft thermal protection systems, ablative systems, plume impingement, ascent and entry aerothermal heating
- Radiative heat transfer, analytical and experimental approaches
- Studies related to MLI, coatings, thermophysical/optical properties, and surface finishes
- Ground test, manufacturing processes, and simulation
- Analytical model correlation to existing test or flight data
Active Thermal/Fluids/Life Support
- Fluid systems & CFD: design, analysis, build, and test for space and aeronautics
- Active thermal systems & control: mechanical pumped fluid loops, heat pipes, methods for achieving variable conductance, thermal/fluid systems components, analysis, and testing
- Life support: environmental control and life support systems
- Analytical model correlation to existing test or flight data
Aerothermal
- Aerothermodynamics: design, analysis, build, and test for space and aeronautics
- Aeroheating environments: ascent, on-orbit, re-entry
- Aerothermodynamic performance in planetary atmospheres
- Heating due to high-speed flight and jet and rocket plume impingement
- Free molecular heat transfer, analytical and experimental approaches
- Analytical model correlation to existing test or flight data
Cryogenics
- Cryogenic system design: analysis, design, build, and test
- Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM)
- Gas compression technologies
- Passive multistage cryogenic radiators
Interdisciplinary
- Multi-disciplinary problems: design, analysis, build, and test for space and aeronautics
- Integrated analyses of chemical reactions, electromagnetic interactions, micromechanics, structural motion
- Technology innovations, current and in-development
- Creating environments of inclusion to enable innovation
- Lessons learned
- Various fluid management and modeling techniques as applied to propulsion
- Modeling or testing error approximation and verification/validation techniques
We are open to a broad range of topics related to thermal/fluid systems, so please contact us if you are unsure which session category your paper falls under. Note that papers are not to be submitted for the purpose of advertising a software product’s features and capabilities. The intent is to present ongoing and accomplished work in support of a program or project.
