ABSTRACT
This report describes a theoretical study of the effects of free stream
dissociation on the nonequilibrium gas properties behind strong shock waves.
The analysis is based on a set of oblique shock relations which are gener
alized to include an arbitrary degree of nonequilibrium vibration, dissoci
ation or ionization ahead of and/or behind the shock front. The frozen and--~~..:,-

fraction and dissociation energy are presented at shock velocities rangi~g
from 15,000 to 30,000 ft/sec for normal and oblique hypersonic shock waves.
Some of the potential effects of predissociation on the intervening relax-=
ation process are also briefly examined. Comparison is made with the prop
erties behind geometrically-similar shock waves in a perfect undissociated
ambient gas, independently of the preshock chemic~l history, for either the,
same shock velocity or the same total enthalpy. It is found that signifi-
cant changes in the post-shock density ratio, temperatUre,. dissociation and
ionization can occur if 10 percent or more of the total energy is tied up
in preshock dissociation. Sharp reductions in the usual differences between
the frozen and eqUilibrium properties associated with endothermic post-shock
relaxation are observed when 50 percent or more of the total enthalpy is in
preshock dissociation. Moreover, it is conjectured that a complete reversal
in the nature of the relaxation process to one which is exothermic (recom
bination-dominated), and a virtual disappearance of nonequilibrium overshoot
phenomena due to the nitric oxide exchange reactions, may be possible for
shocks in very highly dissociated ambient air.

1. INTRODUCTION
It is usually assumed in computing dissociation and ionization effects on
the flow field surroupdlng a hypersonic body or following the propagating
shock in a shock tube that the free stream ahead of the shock is a perfect
gas. However, there are five practical problems in which a significantly
dissociated or ionized gas state ahead of a shock wave must be taken into
account as well as the real gas effects excited behind the shock envelope:
(1) Highly-nonequilibrium flow in the nozzle of a hypersonic testing
facility with a model in the test section immersed in a dissociated and/or
ionized gas stream (Ref. 1 - 5). (2) The calculation of gas properties
behind a shock wave reflected from the end of a shock tube (or entrance to
the nozzle on a shock tunnel) when the reflected shock propagates into the
dissociated or ionized gas created b~ the incident shock. (3) The effect
of dissociation or ionization excited in tront of an arc discharge-driven
shock wave as a result of the radiation emitted from the arc (Ref. 6, 7).(4) The use of catalytic probes to measure atom concentrations in high
velocity, dissociated gas stre~. (5) Analysis of the flow field and
wake properties associated with a hypersonic body passing through a disso
ciated or ionized atmosphere produced by nuclear explosions or, at very
_high altitudes in the "chemosphere," by solar radiation (Ref. 8, 9).
To prOVide a general foundation for an analysis of these problems, this
report presents a theoretical study of the nonequilibrium flow behind strong
shock waves passing tbrough a dissociated and/or vibrationally-excited (but
unionized) ambient-gas ·lmich is in an arbitrary state of chemical or vibra
tional nonequilibrium. The main objective of this investigation is to show
how "predissociation" modifies ·the post-Shock real gas behavior observed in
a perfect ambient gas at hypersoni~ velocities for preshock atom mass
2
fractions ranging from zero to unity. To this end, three aspects of the
problem are treated: (1) the derivation of oblique shock relations which
are applicable to an arbitrary degree of vibration, dissociation and ion
ization ahead of and/or behind the primary shock front; (2) a detailed
numerical evaluation of the frozen and equilibrium shock properties in air
as a function of the degree of free stream dissociation and/or, vibrational
excitation, for a representative set of hypersonic shock velocities, wave
angle and ambient density combinations; (3) a qualitative examination of
predissociation effects on the intervening nonequilibrium relaxation chem
istry in shocked air.
Section 2 of this report presents the governing equations for the steady
adiabatic flow of an arbitrary reacting gas mixture across an oblique shock
front. These equations are employed to generalize the usual oblique shock
relations to account for an arbitrary degree of nonequilibrium Vibration,
dissociation and ionization ahead of and/or behind the shock. The hyper---~-'-,
sonic approximations are then introduced to obtain a single set of equa-___.:::::: ....w ~_~.._,....,..,.,....---=~'----
tions that are applicable to either detached or attached shock configura-
tions. For normal shock velocities below 25,000 ft/sec, these assumptions...............--".:.~--'"" ...._''''....-......~~-- ...._~-_.•*............"-.,.~....,...- .......-~-.-._ ..........,,.-''''~'''''...,.,..~.~,. ..........,...,.,..,.-,-
are invalid in a significantly dissociated ambient gas unless this disso--------,--_._.-~~-~=,.._--~~~-~~~ ..,""'~-_."-"",,~~.,--_.~.~-~"-ciation is in a highly-nonequilibrium state.
In Section 3, a detailed analysis of predissociated shock waves in air is
given, assuming hypersonic flow. Comparison is made with the behavior be
hind geometrically-similar shocks in a perfect ambient gas, independently
of the upstream chemical history, for the same velocity and the same total
enthalpy. The frozen and equilibrium gas properties versus the free stream
atom mass fraction are presented ·for shock velocities ranging from 15,000
30,000 ft/sec and ambient densities pertaining to altitudes of 200,000 and
250,000 feet. Three particular configurations are analyzed: (a) a normal
shock, (b) incipiently-detached flow over a wedge and (c) an attachedo
shock on a 30 half-angle wedge. The conditions under which predissociation
causes significant changes in the post-shock properties are demonstrated.
Finally, the foregoing results are applied, in conjunction with the pi-"esent
knOWledge about the nature of shocked air chemistry, to examine the potential

effects of predissociation on the nonequilibrium relaxation process without
actually solving the detailed rate equations. In particular, the possibility
of predissociation-induced exothermic relaxation (which is suggested by the
aforementioned detailed calculations) is considered. Also, the probable
effects on the thermally-insignificant reactions and nitric oXide, electron
density and molecular ion band radiation nonequilibrium "overshoot"phenomena
are discussed briefly.
The following mass, momentum and energy conservation equations govern the
flow across an oblique shock wave:

In the absence of external pressure gradients, the nonequilibrium behavior
is eVidently bounded by two limiting post-shock states at which the gas
properties can be found without the necessity of solving a set of differen
tial equations. The first is the ';frozen" state immediately behind the
primary shock front (hereafter denoted by the subscript S : F), ~ :: 0 ,
where the gas is assumed to be in translational and rotational energy equi

tion prevailing ahead of the shock. Here, (eLv'.)F :: (eL",.). ,

ties are easily computed from Equations (1) - (6), and the initial rates of
change of f3 i , 0( L ,T , etc., behind the shock follow from Equations (10).
The other limiting state is a condition of complete thermal and chemical
equilibrium (hereafter denoted by s : EQ) which is asymptotically approached

the relations e(LE~ -= DCL,(T, p) and ~i.EQ ::. ~ i. (T) provided by classical

variables ,SUCh as rand p or hand p, is therefore sufficient to deter
mine all of the equilibrium properties (Ref. 11 - 14).

20,000 ft/sec in air unless there is a significant atomic nitrogen (as well
as oxygen) population ahead of the shock. However, when the free stream
dissociated nitrogen content is large ( 0(00 >> .23), ]-[00 can easily exceed

yield a single set of shock relations for either detached or attached shock

PREDISSOCIATION EFFECTS ON SHOCKED AIR
The influence of free stre~ dissociation and/or molecular vibration on the
frozen and equilibrium shock properties behind strong hypersonic shock waves
in air, and some of the resulting implications concerning the intervening
nonequilibrium chemistry1 will now be analyzed. Since the effects of pre
dissociation are best appreciated by a comparison with the properties behind
a similar shock in a perfect ambient gas, we shall first discuss several
types of comparisons which arise in practical problems.

be employed as the basis of en evaluation of predissociation effects on the
shocked gas properties, relative to the assumption of a perfect ambient gas,
behind a shock propagating with a given velocity through a shock tube.

It .should be noted that the foregoing frozen shock properties were calcu

3.3 Equilibrium Shock Properties
An iterative simultaneous solution to Equations (19) - (23), in conjunction
with the data given in Reference 14 and Figures 5 and 6 was employed to
calculate the equilibrium shock properties in air as a function of the free
stream atom mass fraction. l Both CSV and CTE conditions were assumed for
the five representative perfect ambient gas shock velocity-altitude con
ditions shown in Table 3. Three configurations were studied: (a) a normal
shock, (b) an incipiently-detached shock on a wedge, and (c) an attached,o .
30 half-angle wedge flow. In several cases for each configuration, the
effect of an .ambient density change was evaluated by arbitrarily assuming
/-1f'oo2. poo, = 10 ,land 10. The resulting variations in equilibrium den-
sity, temperature and compressibility factor with 0<_, and a comparison
with the corresponding frozen shock properties, are presented in Figures
13 - 15 and will be discussed in detail below. The effects of ambient vi
bration on the equilibrium properties have been omitted, since they were
negligible in every case considered•.
lMt-. D. A. Meis, of the Missiles Aerodynamics Research Group, carried outthe majority of these calculations. As a first approximation, it wasassumed that hEo. Z h F and PEQ Z PF , since h s and Ps are not toosensitive to post-shock relaxation.

The equilibrium compressibility factor ZEQ versus O{oo is plotted in Figure
15A, Band C. As a result of the post-shock enthalpy increase for CSV,
predissociation involving both atomic oxygen and nitrogen will produce a
significant increase in ZEQ (a factor of 2 in the attached shock example)1when Hoo > .50. The preshock dissociation effect is negligible, however,

on this behavior. It should be noted, however, that the slope of the CSV
curves approaches unity as o(CIO increases; this trend becomes more pronounced
as the normal shock velocity decreaSes. (A similar behavior is also ob
served for CTE at much weaker shock strengths; for the examples shown in
Figure 15, it occurs only for the attached shock). Consequently, when the
normal shock velocity is sufficiently small (~15 - 20,000 ft / sec) ,
Z£Q (0(_) tends to merge into the line Z. = I + OC_2.as ()(.. increases. The
relation Z E.Q:: I + OCco thus becomes a good approximation to the equilibrium
dissociation behind the shock when 0(,00 > .25 - -35.2
Obviously, this limit
ing case is of special significance in the analysis of hypersonic slender
body flow fields (Ref. 17).
It may be anticipated from the foregoing results that CSV predissociation
can. appreciably enhance the eqUilibrium ionization levels realized behind
lObserve that Z E.Q2, can exceed 2 in the stronger shock examples; hence theeffect of CSV predissociation on the equilibrium shock properties in airis not bounded by the values for a pure, unionized monatomic gas.

however, should be negligible except for attached shock configuration).

smaller shock velocities and/or wave angles. Of course, it should be remem-
bered that the electron densit;y, proportional to p. Xu' does not reflect
so drastic a change because of the accomp~ying decrease in equilibrium
density, 'although an order of magnitude increase is still possible. Indeed,
CTE predissociation will actually reduce the electron density because ~E~
is relatively unchanged while ~:: decreases.
It may be recalled that nitric oxide in the free stream has been neglected.
However, because of its low ionization energy, a small amount of NO ahead
of the shock front (which can easily be the case in practice) would sub
stantially increase the eqUilibrium ionization for either CSV or CTE, in
addition to the free stream atomic oxygen and nitrogen effects. The present
calculations are therefore conservative estimates of predissociation effects
on the post-Shock ionization level in air.
3.3.4 Shock Geometry and Flow Deflection
Predissociation effects on shock angle or flow deflection for either attached
or detached shock configurations may now be easily calculated from Figure 13and' Equations (7) - (9). As an example, 5,: and $E4 for a detached angle

Considering an attached shock configuration, a plot of fT versus 0(00 for
$s = 300 is shown in Figure 18. It is seen that purely shock-generated
dissociation, nonequilibriUm. relaxation, and GSV predissociation all have

a very small (~50) effect in the examples shown. In contrast, a 100_ 200

for 0(00 > .50) are well within the capability of experimental detection,
provided a sufficiently large percentage of the total enthalpy is invested
in dissociation ahead of the shock.
3.4 The Intervening Nonequilibrium Behavior
Many theoretical and experimental investigations of the nonequilibrium
relaxation chemistry in shocked air have been carried out for a perfect
ambient gas (see for example Refs. 18 - 20). However, only one rather
limited study of the relaxation process with a dissociated gas ahead of the
shock, involving atomic oxygen only, has apparently been made to date (Ref.
21). Therefore, in the following discussion we shall attempt to appraise
some of the potential effects of predissociation on the nonequilibrium
behavior of shocked air for 0 ~ tX oo < " without solving the detailed rate
equations, by combining the foregoing results and the present knowledge of
the rate chemistry.
3.4.1 ' A Short Review of Shocked Air Chemistry
Although the present understanding of the rate processes excited in shocked
air is far from complete, the combined theoretical and experimental studies
to date have clearly shown that two basically different types of reactions
may proceed simultaneously:l (1) "thermally significant" reactions and
(2). "thermally insignificant" reactions which are extremely rapid in com
parison to (1).

density can be produced by the nitric oxide reaction (36c) for
temperatures at which the ionization due to reactions (37A) or
(37B) is negligible. It has been customary in the past to assume
that vibrational relaxation is complete before the above chemical
reactions are appreciably excited. However, at sufficiently high
post-shock temperatures the vibrational relaxation length becomes
comparable to, or greater than, the corresponding chemical relax
ation distances. As a result, a significant vibration-dissocia
tion coupling effect appears and reduces the initial dissociation
rates by absorbing some of the energy otherwise entirely available
for dissociation (Ref'. 18).

where the latter two reactions involve a very fast collisional
excitation mechanism1 resulting in electronically-excited atoms
N* and 0* which m~ easily ionize by recombination to produce
molecular ions.2 The thermally-insignificant reactions are re
sponsible for several striking features of the nonequilibrium
behavior near the shock front which cannot be explained by reac
tions (36) - (37) and are remarkabl~/ insensitive to the rate~ of
the latter reactions. These are: (a) unusually short dissocia
tion and ionization relaxation times (far shorter than observed
behind a shock of comparable strength in a pure diatomic or noble
monatomic gas), (b) local values of NO concentration, electron
density and molecular ion band radiation intensity near the shock
front which are extremely high and far in excess of the correspond
ing final equilibrium values (i.e., a decidedly nonmonotonic re
action path involving composition and nonequilibrium radiation
It overshoots"), and (c) noticeably more atomic nitrogen near the
shock front than can be adduced to reaction (36B).
3.4.2 Thermally Significant Predissociation Effects
It has been shown in Figures 13 - 15 that predissociation can substantially
-reduce' the usual spread in the thermodynamic properties due to endothermic
re_laxation in shocked air. Moreover, there is evidence in this data which
suggests that a sufficiently high ambient dissociation level can cause the
relaxation process to become exothermic (recombination-dominated) and there
fore an expansion flow with respect to ps. It will now be demonstrated
that the thermally-significant reactions do indeed portend a relaxation
behavior following these trends. For this Purpose, the following form of
Equation (lOB) shall be used to represent the post-shock relaxation of the

tion (49) represents a binary "air atom-air molecule" approximation (Ref.
22) which is convenient for the following qualit,ative analysis since it
clearly displays the essential physics of the thermally-significant disso-
, t' 1 t' 2c~a ~ve re axa ~on.
In a perTect ambient gas, the initial reaction excited behind a strong
shock is a two-body dissociation rate which increases o(s and decreases
€os, ~ with J{.. (linearly for small X. ). An opposing three-body recom
bination rate subsequently develops and slows down the net dissociation
rate and rates of increase and decrease, respectively, in lX, ('X,), €.~ and
~ ; ultimately the lagging recombination "catches up" to and balances the
forward dissociation rate when the asymptotic thermodynamic equilibrium
state is reached. The overall relaxation process is an endothermic, mono
tonic transition between the frozen and equilibrium states (Ref. 24). Now
consider a dissociation level 0<._ ahead of (and therefore immediately behind)
the primary shock point. In contrast to the foregoing situation, Equation
(39) indicates that an atom recombination reaction is present in (dO(/d~)1:
and that fewer molecules are available to dissociate further behind the
shock. Also, since 1";. will be smaller than (1;)«.. : 0 ,the initial dis
sociation rate exponential is reduced as well, partiCUlarly for a CTE

observed in the numerical results of Reference 21, although a reversal in
the nature of the relaxation process is not in evidence since this work
considers free stream atomic oxygen only. 2
Some interesting consequences regarding vibrational relaxation may also be
observed. For example, predissociation reduces the initial vibrational~........--..----~--_.. --------.,..,..,.".,.-_....--...,....,_.........,...",............-.....-..---..,"'.,.,.....----"'_..........~"...--
excitation rate behind the shock because of the reduced 1; and fewer number_,..--.--.-or._'"-<.-..,..,~ -....-..-.-_~.,....,.""~""'"..........~<>7."'·"'_~· ..... .....,.,<;'<'..>"'...._"'''<'"'..,.. .........,.;;.._''''~A'"''' ........'O___-...". .. .....".... , .........,.."""'_,""."."..:-.-.,.._ .._.
of molecules available for excitation. This in turn slows down the disso-
ciation rate over a wider portion of the relaxation zone due to an enhanced
vibration-dissociation coupling effect. When the free stream is vibration
ally-excited, this coupling effect is further enhanced; however, this tends
to be offset by the higher initial vibrational energy level behind the
shock. Of course, all of these effects assume a decreasing importance as
the preshock dissociation level increases.
3.4.3 Predissociation Effects on Overshoot Behavior
In a perfect ambient gas, nonequilibrium overshoot phenomena associated
with the thermally-insignificant reactions are instigated by two very fast
reaction paths acting in parallel. The first invo~ves the NO-exchange
reactions and reaction (39A): upon a slight dissociation of oxygen from
Equation (36A), these reactions rapidly drive the NO, NO+ and electron
concentrations into local equilibrium with a temperature Ts >> TSEo. ,
lIn the CTE case, this effect is somewhat opposed (but not overcome) by thecorresponding reduction in PF •
2Recall that this reversal may occur in air only when both atomic oxygen andnitrogen are present ahead of the shock with more than 50 percent of the---total energy invested in preshock dissociation.

thereby producing a decided overshoot of the final equilibrium concentrations
near the shock front and, by (38A), a concentration of atomic nitrogen
higher than that predicted by reactiorl (36B). Simultaneously, a rapid
electronic excitation of the atoms states drives the molecular ion concen
tration resulting from (39B) and (39C), and the radiation therefrom, into
a local equilibrium. with a temperature T.s » ~ E.Q. ; this yields a
further contribution to the electron density overshoot and an overshoot in

4. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
front) and a shorter re laxation distance; however, with Q(oo >> .23 (both 0
and N ahead of shock), the trend reverses because of the sharply reducing
difference between the frozen and equilibrium shock properties and the NO,e and molecular ion radiation equilibrium overshoots decrease with increas
ing 01.., moving downstream of the shock front and lengthening the relaxation
distance behind the shock.
A theoretical stUdy of predissociation effects on the nonequilibrium gas
properties behind the strong shOCk waves in air has been presented in this
report. The results were compared to the properties behind geometrically
similar shocks in a perfect ambient gas for either the same shock velocity
(CSV) or the same total enthalpy (CTE). Provided that both atomic oxygen
and nitrogen are present in the free stream (cX_ >;> .23) and that 10 percent
or more of the total enthalpy is invested in preshock dissociation, signif
icant changes in the shocked gas properties were obtained. Specifically,
the following four conclusions may be emphasized.

The equilibrium shock density ratio ~: can be reduced by a factor
of two or more when either CSV or CTE predissociation involves
50 percent or more of the total enthalpy; correspondingly, a 50
100 percent increase in equilibrium temperature, dissociation and
ionization behind the shock can be observed at CSV. In contrast,
the increase in 1;.Q and LE.Q resulting from CTE predissociation
is much smal~er but is accompanied by an order of magnitude re
duction in the shOCked gas pressure and frozen shock temperature.

velocity decreases and therefore is particularly important forweakshock-~1;;-·~d7;;-~~~~;;:~d-;h~~~~--~~---~~~~ted~~~·~der bodies.
Either CSV or CTE predissociation in excess of 50 percent will
sharply reduce the usual difference between the frozen and equi-

librium shock properties that is associated with nonequilibrium
post-shock relaxation in a perfect ambient gas. Indeed, for nor
mal shock velocities below approximately 15,000 rt/sec and ". >.50, a complete inversion of the normally endothermic nature of
this process to one which is exothermic (recombination-dominated)
may occur. Since this appears on the verge of failure of the
hypersonic shock approximations used in this investigation, how
ever, further theoretical and (especially) experimental study is
warranted for conclusive proof.
(4) . It is predicted that a highly dissociated free stream will sub
stantially reduce (and possibly eliminate completely) nonequilib
rium overshoots in NO concentration, electron density and molec
ular ion radiation intensity associated with the thermally-insig
nificant reactions excited in shocked air. Therefore, a detailed
numerical study of the complete set of rate equations for a pre
dissociated shock forO ~ «00 $. I , as well as experimental evi
dence, is clearly of great interest.
In conclusion, it may be stated that although the present calculations have
been concerned with air and an unionized free stream, many of the general
qualitative trends shown should be applicable to related types of gas mix
tures and/or preionization effects as well. Furthermore, while shock wave
behavior per se has been considered exclusively, it is clear that our results
provide a general basis for appraising the effects of free stream dissocia
tion on hypervelocity body flow fields-
