Molecular Physics and Hypersonic Flows bridges the gap between the
fluid dynamics and molecular physics communities, emphasizing the
role played by elementary processes in hypersonic flows. In
particular, the work is primarily dedicated to filling the gap
between microscopic and macroscopic treatments of the source terms
to be inserted in the fluid dynamics codes. The first part of the
book describes the molecular dynamics of elementary processes both
in the gas phase and in the interaction with surfaces by using
quantum mechanical and phenomenological approaches. A second group
of contributions describes thermodynamics and transport properties
of air components, with special attention to the transport of
internal energy. A series of papers is devoted to the experimental
and theoretical study of the flow of partially ionized gases.
Subsequent contributions treat modern computational techniques for
3-D hypersonic flow. Non-equilibrium vibrational kinetics are then
described, together with the coupling of vibration-dissociation
processes as they affect hypersonic flows. Special emphasis is
given to the interfacing of non-equilibrium models with
computational fluid dynamics methods. Finally, the last part of the
book deals with the application of direct Monte Carlo methods in
describing rarefied flows.
