[0002] When the aircraft flies at high speed in the atmosphere, it rubs against the surrounding air and compresses the air in front. Under the double effects of viscous dissipation and strong shock compression, a large amount of kinetic energy of the high-speed incoming flow is converted into internal energy, causing the temperature in the shock layer to rise sharply, which can reach more than 10,000 K, forming serious aerodynamic heating on the surface of the aircraft. The severe aerodynamic thermal environment forms a strong constraint on the flight corridor thermal boundary of the aircraft. When designing the flight trajectory, the thermal environment constraint is considered to ensure the reliability of the thermal protection system of the aircraft. However, the simulation and analysis of the three-dimensional complex aircraft aerodynamic thermal environment requires a large amount of calculation and a long period, which cannot be integrated into the flight trajectory design program in real time.
