HIGH ALTITUDE SHOCK WAVE STRUCTURE. PART 1. SHOCK WAVE STRUCTURE WITH ROTATIONAL AND VIBRATIONAL RELAXATION. PART 2. A SHOCK TUBE STUDY OF THE THERMAL DISSOCIATION OF NITROGEN

Abstract

In an earlier paper (Ref. 1) the authors analyzed the structure of a shock wave in a gas having a long relaxation time for its internal molecular (rotational) degrees of freedom. This analysis has now been extended to the case of a diatomic gas having two relaxation effects, one for the rotational and one for the vibrational degrees of freedom.
