Multi-Step Computational Modeling and Shock-Tube Study of Energy Transfer Processes in High-Enthalpy Air

Abstract

The primary goal of the proposed research is to significantly advance the fundamentalunderstanding of molecular energy transfer processes that determine the flow of air around a hypersonic vehicle. The proposed research is organized into three primary areas: Task-1: computational chemistry; Task-2: computational fluid dynamics; and Task-3: shock tube experiments. The approach described herein represents an integration of multi-step, validated information flowing from length-scales that span the molecular sciences up to real-world mesoscale systems.
