| 内容記述 | Vibrational and rotational population distributions in expanding nitrogen in the supersonic nozzle of a reflected shock tunnel were investigated using spontaneous Raman scattering spectroscopy. The experimental data are compared with two multitemperature nonequilibrium calculations, one based on the Landau-Teller model for vibrational relaxation, the other on the solution of the vibrational master equations. Good agreement was found between both the Landau-Teller and the master equation solutions for the vibrational energy mode, but the experimentally inferred rotational temperatures were found to be systematically low, due to collisional narrowing. The dramatic increase in vibrational relaxation rates for a cooling flowfield reported in most previous studies was not reproduced by the present experiments. |
