Features of chemically reacting separated hypersonic flows are identified and issues concerning their analysis and simulation are discussed. Emphasis is placed on flows of high temperature dissociating and ionizing air and current methods for studying and characterizing these flows, including separation, are reviewed. The aeroassist orbital transfer vehicle and its flight trajectory are used for illustration. Thermochemical nonequilibrium phenomena are emphasized and extension of continuum analysis to the high altitude slip-flow regime is considered.
