Abstract
TITAN Aerocapture entry has been studied in collaboration with the Hypersonics Centre of the University Queensland (UQ), Australia The simulation of the experimental conditions and also the flight conditions are made using CFD coupled with chemistry libraries of which CHEMKIN. This can be compared to in-code implementation for the Earth reentry. Reduced models based on combustion data bases are taken for the reactions data set for Titan’s entry
