Abstract
The paper descirbes a computer code which is used to predict
the chemical changes which occur after the shock heating of reactive
gas mixtures. The code is designed to handle both incident and
reflected shock waves. It makes allowances for real gas behavior,
boundary layer effects and detailed finite-rate chemistry. The
code is intended to be used in conjunction with shock tube experiments.
Computer simulation of such experiments is valuable to the intepretation
of the experimental results and to the understanding of the chemical
kinetic behavior.
