Abstract

In this study, a method for calculating thermally and chemically nonequilibrium flows has been developed. The method is based on solving of a system of equations, including the equations of continuity, momentum, total energy, conservation of species, and vibrational energies. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the rates of Translation-Vibration (T-V) and Vibration–Vibration (V-V) energy exchanges. The technique was tested on the computations of the flow around the OREX spacecraft and the flow around a ball moving freely in a wind-tunnel facility. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data and the calculation results of the other authors. Heat fluxes, distribution of pressure on the aircraft surface, distribution of gas-dynamic parameters in the vicinity of the forward stagnation point, distribution of the electron concentration, as well as aerodynamic drag and position of the bow shock depending on the flight speed are investigated.
