AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">This paper presents the implementation, validation and application of TCE
(total collision energy) model for simulating hypersonic reactive flows in a parallel
direct simulation Monte Carlo code, named PDSC<sup>++</sup>, using an unstructured grid. A
series of benchmarking test cases, which include reproduction of theoretical rate constants
in a single cell, 2D hypersonic flow past a cylinder and 2D-axisymmetric hypersonic
flow past a sphere, were performed to validate the implementation. Finally,
detailed aerothermodynamics of the flown reentry Apollo 6 Command Module at 105
km is simulated to demonstrate the powerful capability of the PDSC<sup>++ </sup>in treating
realistic hypersonic reactive flow at high altitude.</p>
