Two-temperature models for coupled vibrational relaxation and dissociation in shock-heated oxygen are assessed using low-uncertainty measured data from reflected shock tube experiments. A computationally efficient multistep technique is developed to model the unsteady dynamics of shock reflection in a relaxing and dissociating gas. The developed technique is then benchmarked through comparison with unsteady computational fluid dynamic simulations. Results from the benchmarking effort demonstrate that the adopted multistep modeling procedure accurately captures the dominant gas dynamic effects influencing the state of the test gas at the measurement location. A parametric study is then performed to assess several combinations of possible two-temperature modeling approaches for nonequilibrium oxygen dissociation. The current assessment demonstrates that the widely adopted Park model is inconsistent with the measured data, while the recently developed modified Marrone and Treanor (MMT) model demonstrates promising agreement with the data. The results of the present study clearly indicate that the MMT model is more appropriate for two-temperature modeling of nonequilibrium oxygen dissociation than the legacy Park model. Patterns in the parametric comparison also suggest that the approximate treatment of non-Boltzmann vibrational state distributions within the MMT model may require improvement.
