The computati onal model of nonequili brium radi ation emitted in the relaxati on zone behind shock front is presented in the paper. The hydrodynamic description of relaxati on zone is performed in the framework of Euler equations. The model includes different physical chemical processes such as chemical kinetics, relaxati on of vi brational energy. Also the equation for the determinati on of electron gas temperature is solved. The "justoverl appi ng" line model is used for the calculation of the s pectral emissivity. The presented model is used in order to obtain vari ous characteristics of radiation (spectral emissivity, spatial distri buti on of s pectral emissivity integrated over s pecific wavelength region, maxi mum val ue of the nonequili brium radi ation) behind shock front for the conditi ons which are relevant to the experi mental data obtained on different facilities. Comparison of experi mental and theoretical data is presented in the paper. The reasons for the discrepancies are discussed.
