Abstract

The results of numerical study of relaxation processes in oxygen at high temperatures are presented. Collisions of particles (atoms and molecules) are described by the molecular dynamics methods based on trajectory calculations within the framework of classical mechanics. A complex of programs for calculating the relaxation processes in mixtures of high-temperature gases involving internal modes that describe rotational and vibrational motions in molecules and molecular dissociation and atomic recombination in the presence of a third body is described. The relaxation process is described with reference to variation in the parameters in a mixture of atomic and molecular oxygen with various initial temperatures of the translational and internal modes. The results of calculations of the structure of shock wave in oxygen with the maximum translational temperature on the front higher than 5000–11 000 K are given. The results obtained are compared with experimental data.
