Description:
Theoretical and numerical aspects of molecular flow simulation focussed on the development of collision models for diatomic and triatomic gases undergoing rotational excitation and energy exchange. A laser absorption technique is proposed and analyzed as sufficiently sensitive for measuring rotational populations in a nonequilibrium shock wave. Also reported is a survey of available literature on NO chemical rate data in preparation for experiments on NO decompensation kinetics in atmospheric pollution.
