Direct simulation of rarefied high-enthalpy flow around the RAM C-II capsule
Annotation
An ionized flow around the RAM C-II space vehicle is studied by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method in the range of altitudes of $73$ to $81$ km. It is shown that the predicted value of the plasma density in the shock layer essentially depends on the approach to simulation of high-temperature nonequilibrium dissociation. Good agreement of the results of numerical simulation with flight experiment data is obtained.
