Abstract
An arc-jet test campaign was conducted to investigate the spallation phenomenon. The goal of this campaign was to physically capture spalled particles to compare with the sizes estimated during particle tracking. It was determined that the difference in sizes seen in the captured particles as compared to the tracked particles had minimal impact on overall mass loss. Thus, particle tracking is an effective method of quantifying spallation.
