ESTENSIONE E VERIFICA DI UN ALGORITMO MONTECARLO PER IL RAY TRACING CHE USA IL MODELLO HYBRID STATISTICAL NARROW BAND

A spacecraft reaches the atmosphere at really high velocity (around 11 km/s), in this hypersonic regime a bow show is generated. This has the result to sharply increase the temperature in such a way that the gas is strongly ionized. In this conditions the radiative heat transfer becomes fundamental to well know the flux on the thermal shield useful in design phase. This work aims at contributing to the development of a C++ code able to compute the radiative heat flux using a MonteCarlo mehod.
