Thermal Transduction: Isotropic Solid vs. 109.5° Phononic Metamaterial
Model A: Solid Titanium (Inner Hull)
-50.0 °C
FAILURE > 150 °C
Model B: 109.5° Metamaterial (Inner Hull)
-50.0 °C
SAFE (Phononic Deflection)
Reentry Timeline0 s / 400 s
Peak Heat Flux500 kW/m²
Panel Thickness4.0 cm
Physics Engine: Solves 1D transient heat conduction ($\alpha \nabla^2 T$). Model B uses a 40% void fraction and geometric phonon scattering, slashing Z-axis thermal conductivity to safely vector heat laterally across the outer skin.
