A simplified fluid dynamic model of the boundary layer in hypersonic flow has been coupled with complete vibrational kinetics for pure nitrogen. We focus our attention on the electron-molecule collisions and calculate the rate coefficients of such processes by solving the stationary Boltzmann equation for electron kinetics. The role of ionization degree in affecting vibrational and electron energy distributions has also been investigated.
