Background
The following information relates to the use of the thermochemical nonequilibrium (TCNEQ) version of PHASTA written in terms of entropy variables. The reader is referred to the following for additional information.

Pre-Processing
Meshing
Within the Simmodeler utility, the mesh can either be created or loaded from an existing .cas file. Below are steps for loading a mesh from a .cas file:
- Launch Simmodeler (for this example, SimModeler7.0-190604 is used)
- File > Import Discrete Data > (select .cas file to import) > (keep defaults and click OK) > (select YES to keep volume mesh)
- Save .sms and .smd files
- Attributes can now be assigned to the model as normal
Boundary Conditions
Below are the recognized boundary conditions that can be applied for the current version:
- comp1/comp2/comp3 - Specification of one/two/three components of velocity
- temperature - Specification of translational-rotational temperature. By default, vibrational temperature is held in equilibrium with this value and nonequilibrium is controlled through simulation inputs.
- surfID - When value is set to 702, the boundary is treated as a slip wall. If using this option, include a boundary layer mesh along the surface to ensure the wall normal direction is accurately computed.
- scalar_1 - Mole fraction of species 2 of the gas
- scalar_2 - Mole fraction of species 3 of the gas
- scalar_3 - Mole fraction of species 4 of the gas
- scalar_4 - Mole fraction of species 5 of the gas
- pressure - Specification of static pressure over a surface
- Used to compute mole fraction of species 1 of the gas with Dalton's Law of partial pressures and subtracting the summation of the other mole fractions from a value of 1
- heat flux - set to zero for adiabatic wall boundary condition
Initial Conditions
Below are the required initial conditions for the current version:
- velocity - Components and magnitude of flow velocity
- If a supersonic outlet condition is used, set such that flow is initialized Mach > 1
- temperature - Value used to set translational-rotational temperature
