Summary:

Boundary equations obtained for a low Reynolds number, high enthalpy gas flow in regions of velocity slip and temperature jump are presented. The formulation treats, through a first-order distribution function used to include multicomponent diffusion, a multicomponent gas mixture that may be in nonequilibrium with finite-rate catalytic recombination occurring on the wall. In the boundary equations, which are obtained for use in flow-field calculations applicable to low-density flow regimes, a simplified gas/wall interaction is assumed wherein individual atoms or molecules either reflect specularly off the wall or stick and are fully accommodated. Fluxes in terms of evaluated integrals over the distribution function and integrals necessary for determining fluxes are given.
