Phenomenological energy exchange of diatomic gases: Comparison of Pullin and Borgnakke-Larsen models in direct simulation Monte Carlo method
Hao Jin, Sha Liu, Ningchao Ding +4
In hypersonic rarefied flows, insufficient intermolecular collisions cause significant deviations between translational and rotational temperatures, leading to strong thermal noneq…

A simplified unified wave-particle method for diatomic gases with rotational and vibrational non-equilibrium
Sirui Yang, Chengwen Zhong, Ningchao Ding +4
The hypersonic flow around near-space vehicles constitutes a multi-scale flow problem. Due to insufficient molecular collisions to achieve equilibrium, rarefied gas effects are pre…
