Abstract
The experimental data on the convective heating of the nose surface of the model Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Martian entry vehicle a in three-dimensional flow are numerically investigated in a wide Reynolds number range. It is shown that the application of the algebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax and the mixing model of Prandtl, together with the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, allows one to obtain a reasonable agreement with the experimental and calculated data of other authors.
