Stagnation temperature
T₀ = T[1 + ½(γ−1)M²]
The perfect-gas estimate converts kinetic energy into a stagnation temperature scale.

02 · THERMAL PHYSICS
Velocity enters heating as a cube.
Adiabatic wall temperature
Taw = T + r(T₀ − T)
A recovery factor estimates how much of the stagnation rise reaches an insulated wall.

Nose heating proxy
q̇ ∝ √(ρ/Rn) V³
A blunter nose lowers the proxy; density and especially velocity drive it upward.

03 · MODEL SCOPE
A concept visualizer, not CFD.
The model includes a simplified ISA atmosphere to 50 km, Sutherland viscosity, Reynolds scaling, perfect-gas temperature ratios, and heating/stand-off proxies. It does not resolve chemical nonequilibrium, dissociation, ionization, ablation, 3-D flow, turbulence closure, trajectory integration or detailed TPS response.
