The modeling of atmospheric gas, interacting with the space vehicles in re-entry conditions
in planetary exploration missions, requires a large set of scattering data for all those …

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 report the results of detailed calculations of reactive, inelastic, and dissociative
processes in collisions of atomic oxygen with molecular nitrogen in their respective …

Quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations are used to study state-specific ro-vibrational
energy exchange and dissociation in the O 2+ O system. Atom-diatom collisions with energy …

A master equation study of vibrational relaxation and dissociation of oxygen is conducted
using state-specific O 2–O transition rates, generated by extensive trajectory simulations …

hypersonic flows experienced by objects (space vehicles, meteoroids, space debris) at …

The paper presents a comparative study of vibrational-chemical kinetics and heat transfer in
carbon dioxide flows under Mars entry conditions for two classes of models: the state-to …

ACCURATE characterization of high-enthalpy flows strongly depends on the nonequilibrium
