Computational aerothermodynamics concerns the coupling of real gas effects with equations of motion to include thermochemical rate processes for chemical and energy exchange phenomena. These processes concern the creation and destruction of gas species by chemical reactions and the transfer of energy between the various species and between the various energy modes (e.g., translation, rotation, vibration, ionization, dissociation/recombination, etc.) of the species. To gain some insight into when such phenomena occur for current and future aerospace flight vehicles the author shows the flight regimes of some typical vehicles (e.g., Concord, aerospace plane, Space Shuttle, associated space transfer vehicles, Apollo entry vehicle, etc.) in terms of flight altitude and flight speed. Also indicated are regimes where chemical reactions such as dissociation and ionization are important and where nonequilibrium thermochemical phenomena are important.
