Abstract
A parabolized Navier-Stokes (PNS) code has been developed to efficient ly compute three-dimensional flows in thermo-chemical equilibrium or n onequilibrium. The new code is an extension of NASA's three-dimensiona l upwind PNS (UPS) code. The chemical, vibrational, and electronic non equilibrium effects have been incorporated via a loosely-coupled appro ach. The new code has been used to compute air flows in thermo-chemica l equilibrium and nonequilibrium through expanding hypersonic nozzles. The results are in good agreement with existing numerical and experim ental results. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
