The conditions of thermal, chemical and radiative non-equilibrium attained in a pure N2 gas subjected to a strong shock wave were quantified using vibronic-specific state-to-state models.
The Forced-Harmonic-Oscillator model was employed in the computation of rate coefficients for vibrational transition and dissociation of N$_2$ and N$_2^+$ by heavy particle impact. Thermal dissociation...
The longest-lived code for predicting shock layer radiation, NEQAIR, is now in its 5th decade of service. Substantial changes to the code have been made over the previous decade, the most recent report of which was at the 5th Workshop on Radiation in High Temperature Gases in 2014, for the version referred to as NEQAIR14. This paper will review some of the improvements made to the NEQAIR code...
The recording of meteor spectra allows a better understanding of meteoric composition and in doing so, also the composition of the parent body [1-2]. The composition of a meteoroid is measured by analyzing the measured radiating species with a simulation software for emission spectra. One software is PARADE (Plasma Radiation Database), a line-by-line emission calculation tool [3]. This...
