The effect of thermochemical kinetics modeling on hypersonic flow over a double-cone geometry is investigated. The double-cone is simulated using three different approaches based on the Park model: nonequilibrium flow, equilibrium flow, and frozen flow for air at four different freestream conditions. The thermochemical model effects on the flowfield and surface properties are specific areas of interest. The resulting aerothermodynamic loads are compared to experiments performed in the CUBRC LENS-XX facility and indicate that thermochemistry modeling plays an important role in determining surface properties. The results indicate that the specific thermochemistry model used to describe hypersonic flow over a double-cone significantly affects surface properties for both CUBRC facilities, especially at high enthalpies. A comparison of Park and Modified Marrone–Treanor thermochemistry models is also made, and it is concluded that the models produce similar surface properties, due to the freestream density, and fail to reproduce experimental results. Consistent overprediction of the pressure drag and heating rate indicates there is some unknown fundamental difference between the experiments and the simulations, thus limiting the usefulness of these double-cone experiments for validation of thermochemistry models.
