Vibrational and electronic collisional-radiative model in CO₂-N₂-Ar mixtures for Mars entry problems

Annaloro, Julien; Bultel, Arnaud

To predict the nonequilibrium flows around a hypersonic vehicle entering the Martian atmosphere, the two-temperature collisional-radiative model "CoRaM-MARS" has been developed. The species CO₂, CO, C₂, CN, N₂, NO, O₂, C, N, O, Ar, CO⁺, _C^{2 +} , CN⁺, _N…
