- Test relaxation of CH4 from a thermal non-equilibrium to equilibrium (rotational, vibrational) using an alternative relaxation procedure
- Restart from a given state file (additional test if VibQuantData is given)
- T_t = 10000K, T_r=7500K, T_v = 5000K
- Settings
- PartDensity = 1E23
- MacroParticleFactor = 500
- RotRelaxProb = 0.2
- VibRelaxProb = 0.006 (probability is not coupled to the rotational probability, value chosen to achieve equilibrium is time similar to the RELAX_CH4 case)
- Theoretical equilibrium temperature is 5960K (see Pfeiffer, M., Nizenkov, P., Mirza, A., and Fasoulas, S. (2016). Direct simulation Monte Carlo modeling of relaxation processes in polyatomic gases. Physics of Fluids 28(2), 027103.)
