  1. Particulate matter and small debris present in the atmosphere are known to cause substantial progressive damage to leading edges and control surfaces on hypersonic vehicles. This study seeks to predict the material responses (mechanical and thermal) to high-speed, small particle impact loading during hypersonic flight. To address such challenges, a multi-material fluid-based approach for modeling problems in this regime is examined. This method combines Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) hydrodynamics with Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) and multi- zone physics. The parameter regime of particles (2-5 μm) impacting a material surface at high speeds (125 - 600 ms−1) is investigated.
