Axisymmetric RANS simulations using thermal and chemical non-equilibrium models are applied to a nozzle flow of a free-piston driven shock tunnel HIEST. The static pressure and Pitot pressure profiles at the nozzle exit are compared with the experimental results to examine influence of thermal non-equilibrium on the nozzle flow and validate the CFD code. As the thermal non-equilibrium model, the two-temperature model of Park and a fourtemperature model, for which the conservation of the vibrational-electronic excitation energy for N2, O2 and NO is taken into account individually, are applied to the code. The results show that the HIEST nozzle flow is close to thermal equilibrium with air as the test gas and thermal non-equilibrium with nitrogen. Good agreement between the CFD and the experimental results is obtained at the total enthalpy conditions of 3.81 MJ/kg with air and 7.99 MJ/kg with nitrogen. However, some discrepancy in the Pitot pressure profiles appears at the 10.0 and 19.0 MJ/kg conditions with air. The CFD with the 4T model does not simulate the air nozzle flow at the 3.81 MJ/kg condition. The results indicate that the 4T model underestimates the vibrational relaxation rate.
