Transport phenomena in relaxing gas mixtures - Models and applications
Abstract
A general Chapman-Enskog method is developed for the case of vibrational and chemical nonequilibrium flows, making it possible to calculate the transport terms for all degrees of nonequilibrium. The method is applied to the case of a pure gas in vibrational nonequilibrium. Three examples of nonequilibrium flows are proposed to illustrate the important variations of the transport terms in these types of flows and to show their effect on the flow quantities.
