“…Flament [11] and William [12] simulated a high-enthalpy stationary flow in a nozzle operating with air, allowing vibrational relaxations for N 2 and O 2 species using a Landau-Teller model. Schönemann et al [7] investigated a similar problem for a magneto-plasmadynamic (MPD) accelerator using nitrogen or nitrogen-argon mixtures. Navier-Stokes equations have been solved using transport coefficients given by the Yos model and chemical model from Park [13], which includes ionic species.…”

The Martian-type CO 2 -N 2 plasma flow obtained in the plasma generator of the SR5 arcjet facility has been simulated using two complementary fluid descriptions. An inviscid multitemperature monofluid description has firstly been used to evaluate the importance of the different chemical and exchange processes between the flow species. Then, a one-temperature Navier-Stokes description has been used to evaluate the influence of viscous and rarefaction effects. In the nozzle throat region, heat addition from the arc firstly leads to the establishment of a translation-vibration disequilibrium. Near the end of the nozzle throat, temperature and pressure increases allow more efficient exchange processes and lower this disequilibrium. In the nozzle diverging region, chemical and vibrational processes are quickly frozen as the flow strongly expands. Furthermore, a translation-rotation disequilibrium also occurs near the nozzle exit. Navier-Stokes simulation results evidence a quick increase of the diverging section boundary layers, and therefore most of the diverging section is in a fully viscous interaction regime. Moreover, rarefaction effects are predicted to appear near the nozzle exit walls. The experimental measurements carried near the nozzle exit confirm the thermal disequilibrium regime of the flow, predicted by the simulation results.
