Abstract
The vibrational relaxation of a nonequilibrium molecular gas (TV>T) plays an important role in the physics of gas lasers, laser chemistry [1], and plasma chemistry [2]. This paper is devoted to an analysis of the dynamics of V-T relaxation with spatially inhomogeneous perturbations of the translational temperature taken into account.
