TPS Design Utilizing Sandia National Laboratories SODDIT ...

A method had to be devised to smooth, or filter the heat flux data into a form usable by SODDIT. Note from visual inspection that the data has a gaussian shape. This leads to fitting the data with a gaussian regression. MATALAB is ideally suitable to this, and the resulting heat flux data is shown below.
