Abstract

This lecture is a sequel to an earlier lecture entitled “Review of Finite-Rate Chemistry Models for Air Dissociation and Ionization,” which appears in this volume and is identified as reference 1 in the present lecture. In contrast to that lecture, which focused on the problem of modeling of vibration-dissociation coupling in a post-shock flow, this lecture examines mostly the modeling problems associated with cooling flows.
