Non equilibrium flow in an arc-jetA method for simulating the flow of a nitrogen plasma in thermodynamic nonequilibrium is described. The method relies on the modeling of the relevant physical and chemical phenomena and on a fully coupled implicit finite volume upwind numerical approximation of the governing equations. The results agree with experimental data.
