BRENNAN Index to Contributors to Volume 49 PREFACE Thermophysics is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineeringfounded on the principles of electromagnetic radiation, thermodynamics,and heat transfer. As a space technology utilized in the thermal design ofspacecraft and entry bodies, it has experienced a dramatic growth over thepast fifteen years and indeed has been molded into a well-defined subject ofconsiderable practical and fundamental importance. The rapid develop-ment of the field is attributed to its essential and major role in helping mansatisfy his basic desire to seek scientific and engineering information con-cerning space and planetary environments. Space projects planned for thefuture assure that thermophysics will continue its development as a majordiscipline in the aerospace sciences. Moreover, the advent of energy and en-vironmental technologies has stimulated strong interest in the application ofthermophysics to a variety of problems on Earth, such as collection of solarenergy for terrestial applications, air and water pollution, thermalpollution, and remote optical and infrared sensing of Earth's resources,energy potentials, and environmental changes. As a result of these newtechnologies, the field of thermophysics should broaden significantlyduring the next decade.The scope of thermophysics in the AIAA is defined as follows: "Studyand applications of properties and mechanisms involved in thermal energytransfer within and between solids, and between an object and its environ-ment, particularly by radiation. Study of environmental effects on suchproperties and mechanisms." It is evident from this charter that emphasis isplaced on radiative transfer, and rightly so, because of the importance ofthe role it assumes in the thermal control of spacecraft and the thermal en-vironment and protection of space probes entering planetary atmospheres.Thus, radiative transfer and thermal control, individually and collectively(since they are often strongly coupled), are obviously two of the most im-portant areas in thermophysics. Both are related to spacecraft and entryvehicle thermal design, whereas the former is also an essential element inspace and planetary environments. Each of the areas has experienced con-siderable growth and maturity in the past ten years, and several new and ex-citing developments are now taking place. The radiative transfer area nowincludes not only the traditional subjects of surface system and gaseousradiation but also the timely subject of solar collector radiative propertiesand performance. Surface radiation studies range from prediction andmeasurement of fundamental radiative properties of rough and con-taminated surface systems to the exploitation of basic radiative transferprinciples in the development of novel thermal control systems and analysistechniques for advanced spacecraft and outer planet entry probes. Gas-cous radiation remains an active subject as a result of the continuingdemand for a better understanding of radiation transport problems in plan-etary environments and atmospheric entry.
