N2 - In this study, we develop and assess a new approach to modeling slip boundary conditions in gas mixtures with coupled state-to-state vibrational-chemical kinetics and surface physical and chemical processes: adsorption, desorption, vibrational energy transitions, and chemical reactions. Expressions for velocity slip, temperature jump, and mass fluxes of species are derived on the basis of the advanced kinetic boundary condition taking into account gain and loss of particles in surface processes; theoretical expressions for the mass fluxes obtained in the frame of various approaches are compared. The developed model is implemented to the fluid-dynamic solver for modeling dynamics and state-to-state air kinetics in the boundary layer near stagnation point. Several test cases corresponding to a various degree of gas rarefaction are considered. Recombination probabilities and effective reaction rates are calculated and compared to recent molecular-dynamic simulations; the proposed model yields the best agreement for the recombination rate coefficient. It is shown that temperature jump significantly affects fluid-dynamic parameters and surface heat flux; the role of heterogeneous reactions on the silica surface is weaker. In the surface heating, there is a competition between these two effects: whereas the temperature jump reduces the wall heat flux, surface reactions cause its increase, but to a lesser extent. It is concluded that the model proposed in this study describes self-consistently detailed vibrational kinetics, rarefaction effects, and surface reactions and can be applied both in continuum and slip flow regimes.
