The ablation of carbonaceous materials in a hydrogen-helium stream has been simulated using a charring materials ablator computer code. These results are compared with the first ablation data to be obtained from the Ames-NASA Giant Planet Pilot Facility. Test stream diagnostics and ablation effects on convective and radiative heat transfer are discussed since these parameters constitute important input data to the numerical simulation. Graphite ablation was predicted to within 10 to 20 %, and carbon-phenolic somewhat less accurately. (De Posamentier)
