Modeling three-temperature plasma interactions in hypersonic flow indicates varying chemical reactions.

The flow regime indicates a transition between frozen and equilibrated plasma at critical velocities.
At 3 km/s, plasma evolves with three temperatures equilibration near the vehicle surface.
N2 dissociation achieves equilibrium balance under high-enthalpy conditions at 6 km/s.
The increasing populations of N2 excited states may serve as a useful spectroscopic tool.

Petrov et al. (2025) studied this question.
