Under hypersonic flow conditions, the complicated gas-graphene interactions including
surface catalysis and surface ablation would occur concurrently and intervene together with …

This study proposes a scattering database method to model gas–solid interaction based on
a database of distributions of scattering velocity obtained by a molecular dynamics …

The paper is devoted to the comparative study of Shakhov model kinetic equation and Direct
Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) solutions as applied to high-speed flow of a monatomic gas …

The thermal protection system is essential for the safe and reliable flying of any high-speed
aircraft. A carbon fiber-reinforced phenolic resin (PR) composite is one of the most important …

Precise prediction of aerothermal loads is significantly limited by the unclear interactions
between the thermal protection system surface and the surrounding high-enthalpy gas. To …

In this study, we develop and assess a new approach to modeling slip boundary conditions
in gas mixtures with coupled state-to-state vibrational-chemical kinetics and surface physical …

During atmospheric reentry, the vehicle surface is exposed to highly non-equilibrium flow.
The vehicle surface can experience heterogeneous recombination of reactive atoms, which …

A survey of the capabilities of the Nesvetay code as applied to computing the flow of a high-
speed monatomic gas around objects of irregular shape for large flight altitudes is given. An …

To better characterize the catalytic properties of materials, an elementary-step catalysis
model is refined by incorporating a translational partition function based on one-dimensional …

A generalized finite-rate surface chemistry framework incorporating a comprehensive list of
reaction mechanisms is developed and implemented into the direct simulation Monte Carlo …
