The purpose of the work was to investigate confidence in radiation predictions on an entry probe body in high temperature conditions taking the Huygens probe as an example. Existing engineering flowfield codes for shock tube and blunt body simulations were used and updated when necessary to compute species molar fractions and flow field parameters. An interface to the PARADE radiation code allowed radiative emission estimates to the body surface to be made. A validation of the radiative models in equilibrium conditions was first made with published data and by comparison with shock tube test case data from the IUSTI TCM2 facility with Titan like atmosphere test gas. Further verifications were made in non-equilibrium with published computations. These comparisons were initially made using a Boltzmann assumption for the electronic states of CN. An attempt was also made to use pseudo species for the individual electronic states of CN. Assumptions made in this analysis are described and a further comparison with shock tube data undertaken. Several CN radiation datasets have been used, and while improvements to the modelling tools have been made, it seems that considerable uncertainty remains in the modelling of the non-equilibrium emission using simple engineering methods.
