A. Vinckier et al., A VISCOUS SHOCK LAYER SCHEME FOR HYPERSON IC FLOW, Zeitschrift fur Flugwissenschaften und Weltraumforschung, 18(3), 1994, pp. 203-211
An efficient technique for the calculation of hypersonic chemical non-
equilibrium flow is presented. The simulation technique is based on th
e Viscous Shock Layer scheme with a shock fitting system. It incorpora
tes accurate models for the chemical processes and transport coefficie
nts (viscosity, diffusion and heat transfer) of a five species gas mod
el (O2, N2, NO, O and N). This scheme has a good convergence feature a
nd is robust.
