Abstract:The hypersonic high enthalpy nitrogen flows over spheres are investigated by high-fidelity state-to-state (StS) modeling. The objective of the study is to understand the nonequilibrium behaviors in the shock layer, including the stagnation line features, surface heat transfer rate, and near-wall properties inside the thermal boundary layer. Two cases with the freestream total enthalpies of 16.5 and 15.5 MJ/kg are considered, and the numerical results are compared with the experimental data. The StS model yield… Show more
