  • Post-Shock Thermochemistry in Hypervelocity Carbon Dioxide and Air Flow 
    Sharma, Manu (2010)
    We also examine spatial temperature profiles in the non-equilibrium relaxation region behind a stationary shock wave in a hypervelocity air Mach 7.42 freestream. The normal shock wave is established through a Mach reflection ...
