Research abstract
A COMPUTER CODE WILL BE DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE TWO-DIMENSIONAL NONEQUILIBRIUM SOLUTIONS FOR REENTRY VEHICLE BOUNDARY LAYERS, WITH EMPHASIS ON PREDICTION OF THE ELECTRON DENSITY. A BLOCK IMPLICIT TECHNIQUE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED FOR RELIABLE, STABLE SOLUTION OF THE CHEMICAL KINETIC RATE EQUATIONS AT ALL REENTRY ALTITUDES. THE CODE WILL BE CAPABLE OF HANDLING A WIDE VARIETY OF CHEMICAL SYSTEMS (AIR, HYDROCARBONS, ALKALI CONTAMINANTS, AND ANY OTHERS OF FUTURE INTEREST), AND WILL CONTAIN AN OPTION FOR LAMINAR OR TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW. THE CODE WILL BE DESIGNED TO PERMIT EASY OPERATION BY POTENTIAL USERS.
