An integrated computational method is developed to calculate thermal response of ablator under an arcjet flow condition. In the method, the arcjet freestream condition in the test section is evaluated by calculating the flows in the arcjet wind tunnel fully theoretically. The thermal response of the ablator is calculated by loosely coupling the shock layer computational fluid dynamics code and the 2-D version of ablation code using the arcjet freestream condition so evaluated. The method is applied to the heating tests conducted in the 1 MW arcjet wind tunnel for one operating condition. The influence of catalytic conditions of ablating surface and the effect of nitridation reaction and surface roughness on the thermal response of the ablator are investigated. Comparison of the temperature profile at the ablating surface between calculation and measurement suggests that the measured temperature profile can be reproduced with a low catalytic efficiency of the surface. It is found that the nitridation reaction increase the surface temperature moderately, and that the effect of the roughness on the surface were small for the present operating condition.
