Abstract
An important feature of modeling of real gas flows under the conditions of strong deviations from the equilibrium is that the set of governing equations for macroscopic parameters includes not only the conservation equations for the momentum and total energy, but also the relaxation equations. The latter equations contain the rates of slow physical-chemical processes proceeding on the gas-dynamic time scale. It is necessary to know the rate coefficients for these processes in order to solve the equations of non-equilibrium aerodynamics and calculate the flow parameters taking into account vibrational and chemical kinetics.
