Different Levels of Air Dissociation Chemistry and Its Coupling with Flow Models

  • Chapter
Advances in Hypersonics

Part of the book series: Progress in Scientific Computing ((PSC,volume 8/9))

Abstract

Three selected topics relevant for hypersonic problems shall be considered in this paper:

  1. •

    Thermal chemistry of air dissociation on different levels: Thermodynamics and reaction kinetics of thermal air dissociation at high temperatures are now rather well known. Systematic sensitivity analysis leads to the conclusion that oxygen dissociation is the rate-limiting reaction.

  2. •

    Non-thermal chemistry: Phenomena like vibrational relaxation lead to considerable complications. A mechanism is developed, taking into consideration vibrational-translational relaxation of nitrogen and oxygen molecules up to the dissociation limit. Results are presented and compared with that of a corresponding thermal mechanism.

  3. •

    Coupling of flow and chemistry: Stiffness introduced by chemical reaction terms into the conservation equations demands for implicit solution procedures. The treatment of two-dimensional problems (Euler equations and Navier-Stokes equations) is described here to illustrate solution methods including detailed chemistry.
