2 Σ+, v′=0) by air at 26±4 K. A value of 2.56±0.40×10-10 molecule-1 cm3 s-1 was obtained, a factor of more than four higher than at room temperature, and consistent with attractive forces dominating the quenching of OH(A2Σ+). A d etailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the supersonic free-jet expansion was performed, providing a two-dimensional visualisation of temperature and density variations throughout the expansion. The CFD calculations reproduced the salient features of the experimental temperature and density profiles along the centreline. Comparison between experiment and computation has allowed validation of CFD codes.
