This paper documents the programmatic context and considerations that have shaped the
development and execution of a number of research initiatives implemented by the Air Force …

In celebration of the first 60 years of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, several
studies of hypersonic flows dominated by rate-dependent energetic processes are revisited …

This work evaluates high-fidelity vibrational-translational (VT) energy relaxation and
dissociation models for pure O 2 normal shockwave simulations with the direct simulation …

A chemical dynamics simulation was performed to model experiments [NA West et al., J.
Chem. Phys. 145, 014308 (2016)] in which benzene molecules are vibrationally excited to …

In the present study, three boundary-layer stability codes are compared based on
hypersonic high-enthalpy boundary-layer flows around a blunted 7 deg half-angle cone. The …

Abstract The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is an atomistic-level technique
for modeling nonequilibrium flows appearing in the fields of gas dynamics and physical …

Thermochemical nonequilibrium widely exists in supersonic combustion, cold plasma and
hypersonic flight. The effect can influence heat transfer, surface ablation and aerodynamic …

Thermoacoustic engines are devices capable of converting external heat sources into
acoustic power, which in turn can be converted to mechanical or electrical power …
