This work aims to construct a reduced order model for energy transfer and dissociation in
non-equilibrium nitrogen mixtures. The objective is twofold: to present the Coarse-Grain …

A Boltzmann rovibrational collisional coarse-grained model is proposed to reduce a detailed
kinetic mechanism database developed at NASA Ames Research Center for internal energy …

A rovibrational collisional coarse-grain model has been developed to reduce a detailed
mechanism for the internal energy excitation and dissociation processes behind a strong …

We present a reduced kinetic mechanism for the modeling of the behavior of the electronic
states of the atomic species in air mixtures. The model is built by lumping the electronically …

This work addresses the modeling of dissociation and energy transfer processes in shock
heated nitrogen flows by means of the maximum entropy linear model and a newly …

This thesis focuses on the coupling between flow, ablation, and radiation phenomena
encountered in the stagnation region of atmospheric entry vehicles with carbon-phenolic …

A vibrational collisional model based on the database of the University of Bari is used to
investigate nonequilibrium phenomena in nitrogen nozzle flows. For the cases studied, the …

This work addresses the construction of a reduced-order model based on a multigroup
maximum entropy formulation for application to high-enthalpy nonequilibrium flows. The …

Thermal and chemical nonequilibrium effects are investigated in hypersonic nozzle
expanding flows by means of vibrational collisional models. The rate coefficients for …

We present a detailed comparison of two high-fidelity approaches for simulating non-
equilibrium chemical processes in gases: the state-to-state master equation (StS-ME) and …
