Journal ArticleDOI
An improved potential energy surface and multi-temperature quasiclassical trajectory calculations of N2 + N2 dissociation reactions
Jason D. Bender,Paolo Valentini,Ioannis Nompelis,Yuliya Paukku,Zoltan Varga,Donald G. Truhlar,Thomas E. Schwartzentruber,Graham V. Candler +7 more
TL;DR: As T(v) decreases, rotational energy appears to compensate for the decline in average vibrational energy in promoting dissociation, and the dissociation probability's dependence on v weakens.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hybrid particle-continuum method applied to shock waves
TL;DR: A hybrid numerical scheme designed for hypersonic non-equilibrium flows is presented which solves the Navier-Stokes equations in regions of near-equ equilibrium and uses the direct simulation Monte Carlo method where the flow is in non-Equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modular particle-continuum numerical method for hypersonic non-equilibrium gas flows
TL;DR: A modular particle-continuum (MPC) numerical method for steady-state flows is presented which solves the Navier-Stokes equations in regions of near-equ equilibrium and uses the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method to simulate regions of non-equilibrium gas flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct molecular simulation of nitrogen dissociation based on an ab initio potential energy surface
Paolo Valentini,Thomas E. Schwartzentruber,Jason D. Bender,Ioannis Nompelis,Graham V. Candler +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a direct molecular simulation (DMS) approach is used to predict the internal energy relaxation and dissociation dynamics of high-temperature nitrogen molecules by providing forces between the four atoms.
Book
Nonequilibrium Gas Dynamics and Molecular Simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an updated treatment of molecular gas dynamics topics for aerospace engineers, or anyone researching high-temperature gas flows for hypersonic vehicles and propulsion systems.
