Abstract: The problems of developing a kinetic model of a medium (gas and plasma) are considered from the viewpoint of choice of the most important physicochemical processes. For the problem of a direct shock wave propagating in the atmosphere, kinetic models are selected with allowance for the error in specifying reaction-rate constants. The investigation was performed using an automated system that incorporates structured bases of physicochemical data, a generator of kinetic equations, a complex of programs for direct calculation, and program modules for determining, from a set of admissible solutions, the one satisfying specified criteria.
