Keywords: ablation, turbulence, dns, spectral forcing

Ablative surface flows often arise when using thermal protection materials for preserving structural components of atmospheric re-entry spacecrafts. Hence, the objective of the present study is to support the understanding of turbulent boundary layer structure over ablative surfaces by the use of direct numerical simulation
