An apparatus and method for surface temperature control is provided. Surface temperature control is achieved by flowing coolant in and then out of a low strength porous layer attached to a structural plenum. A semi-permeable layer may be attached to the outer surface of the porous layer to prevent erosion of the porous layer and to facilitate surface film cooling.
