Abstract
In this study, the effects of different thermo-chemical models on the macroscopic parameters of the flow behind a strong shock wave have been examined. The effect of the geometric average temperature proposed by Park and the effect of the electronic energy are also presented, and two CVD vibration-dissociation coupling models including those of Park and Kuznetsov are also examined and used for comparison. The Park93 chemical kinetic model with 11 species and 49 elementary reactions was used to describe the non-equilibrium air chemistry. The energy exchange model between translational and vibrational modes is described by the Landau-Teller formula, where the species relaxation time is based on the Millikan-White formula including Park’s high-temperature correction. The theoretical model consisting of the Euler equations supplemented with the equation of molecular vibration and the equations of chemical kinetics using a two-temperature model (translational-rotational temperature and vibrational-electron-electronic temperature) is discretized by a finite difference scheme. Good agreement is found for the relaxation zone between the present results and those obtained by Panesi for the two trajectory point (1634 s and 1643 s) for the FIRE II reentry capsule.
