Real surface of hypersonic vehicles could be rough rather than smooth at different scales, and non-equilibrium heat and mass transfer to rough walls is a critical phenomenon that needs to be evaluated in design of the thermal protection system. Take the wavy wall as a typical example, this paper analyzes the heat and mass transfer performance of a surface with microscale roughness by using the asymptotic methods. Analytical results for the local heat flux and chemical reaction rate increments are derived for different non-equilibrium degrees and wave steepnesses, and the corresponding scaling laws are discussed and validate by data from the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. This theoretical study provides a convenient and practical method to evaluate and correct the chemical reaction–diffusion performance of rough walls, and is potentially useful for development of new numerical and experimental techniques in dealing with the complex boundaries in engineering problems.
