Influence of Park's Two-Temperature Model Control Temperature on the Flow Properties in Hypersonic Reentry Conditions

Gibson De Marchi Poltronieri, Farney C. Moreira, João Luiz F. Azevedo

Numerical simulations of reactive hypersonic flows under thermochemical non-equilibrium conditions are presented for the FIRE II and Mars Pathfinder capsules. An 11-species chemica…
