Abstract
The behavior of ionization relaxation behind a shock wave in argon under the influence of laminar wall boundary layer is considered. It is found that the temperature, density, and pressure increase in values with distance from the shock front due to the boundary layer growth through most of the relaxation region where the degree of ionization is very small, and subsequently vary to their respective equilibrium values due to ionization reaction; the ionization relaxation time is significantly shortened by introducing the boundary layer effects. Comparison between the calculated and experimental results of ionization time in argon shows a reasonable agreement.
