Development of Improved Molecular Excitation Models for Modeling of High Altitude Space Plume Radiation

Abstract

A main task completed under this project was to understand the sensitivity of chemical models used in the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method to the pair selection techniques as well as the use of discrete versus continuum energy level.
