In this paper, a computer code nozzle in n-temperatures (NOZNT) was proposed to calculate one-dimensional flows of partially dissociated and ionized air in an expanding nozzle.
Abstract
A computer code nozzle in n-temperatures (NOZNT), which calculates one-dimensional flows of partially dissociated and ionized air in an expanding nozzle, is tested against three existing sets of experimental data taken in arcjet wind tunnels. The code accounts for the differences among various temperatures, i.e., translational-rotational temperature, vibrational temperatures of individual molecular species, and electron-electronic temperature, and the effects of impurities. The experimental data considered are (1) the spectroscopic emission data; (2) electron beam data on vibrational temperature; and (3) mass-spectrometric species concentration data. It is shown that the impurities are inconsequential for the arcjet flows, and the NOZNT code is validated by numerically reproducing the experimental data.

Nonequilibrium plasma flow properties in arc-heated wind tunnels

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated analysis model to simulate various-scale arc-heated flows with high accuracy was developed, where the turbulent flow field was described by the Navier-Stokes equations with a multitemperature model, which was tightly coupled with electric-field and radiation-field calculations.
