Abstract
In the preceding chapters we have considered the experimental study of nonequilibrium phenomena in shock waves. This and the next chapter are devoted to the theoretical analysis of relaxation processes in shock waves and of results obtained in their experimental study. The various processes will be studied in the order they appear with an increase in the temperature. First, we shall consider the establishing of the Maxwellian distribution, then the rotational and vibrational relaxations, thermal dissociation and ionization kinetics, and, finally, nonequilibrium radiation. In the fifth chapter we shall consider the nonequilibrium properties of air.
