The present paper discusses the development of an aerothermochemistry model that can be efficiently coupled with fluid dynamics simulations and retains the accuracy of the quantum-mechanical and molecular dynamic principles from which it is derived. The present model allows simulations of thermochemical nonequilibrium in nitrogen without relying on the existence of a vibrational temperature. A series of verification tests suggest that the vibrational-specific master equation model is sufficiently accurate and computationally efficient when applied to the modeling of dissociating nitrogen flows under adiabatic conditions. Toward this end, a kinetic dataset describing vibrational energy transfer and dissociation in N 2 N 2 and N 2 N collisions is obtained on a high-fidelity N 4 potential energy surface, and curve fit coefficients are reported. Validation against shock-tube data indicates that the inclusion of electronically excited and ionic species is potentially required when computing and comparing relaxation parameters with the experimental data derived from the radiative signatures of nitrogen shock flows.
