Аннотация:A technique for the Monte Carlo simulation of the radiation in the carbon dioxide andnitrogen dissociation products in a shock wave is described: the rates of chemical reactions, as well as the excitation of electronic, vibration, and rotation levels of atoms and molecules of CO, CN, O2,and C2. A comparison of the results of numerical simulation and the experimental data obtained onshock tubes of the Institute of Mechanics of Moscow State University is presented.
