Summary

The heat of ablation of glassy materials can be improved by surface-active agents. The degree of improvement is more pronounced at high flight velocities and depends strongly on the coefficient of diffusion in the liquid layer. The analysis is carried out near the stagnation point of blunt bodies for steady state ablation.
