Orion atmospheric reentry simulation

Computational conditions

An object of the shape like the crew module of Orion Spacecraft ^[1] moved at 5,000m/s in mixed gas of N 0.08Pa and O 0.02Pa. It is the situation of the thermosphere of an altitude of around 100km.

N partial pressure 0.08Pa
O partial pressure 0.02Pa
Temperature 300K
Moving speed 5000m/s

Result

N pressure [Pa]
O pressure [Pa]
N temperature [K]
O temperature [K]
N number density [/m3]
O number density [/m3]
