Abstract
⺠A rovibrational coarse-grain model is developed for nitrogen. ⺠In this model, energy levels of an ab initio database are lumped into bins. ⺠Rate coefficients are averaged assuming a uniform distribution within each bin. ⺠The coarse-grain model is used to study a 1D strong shockwave. ⺠Relaxation and dissociation processes are accurately described using a few equations.
