The meanow analysis employs the Navier± Stokes equations with a translational/vibrational temperature model for thermal nonequilibrium and a ® ve-species reacting air model for chemicalnonequilibrium.

The effect of thermal and chemical nonequilibrium on stability is shown to depend on the disturbance mode.}, number={6}, journal={AIAA JOURNAL}, author={Hudson, ML and Chokani, N and Candler, GV}, year={1997}, month={Jun}, pages={958–964} }
