In this paper, we discuss the centrality and energy dependence of $K^{*0}$resonance production using ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD)and thermal models. The $K^{*0}/K$ ratios obtained from the UrQMD and thermalmodels are compared with measurements done by the STAR experiment in Au+Aucollisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV. The$K^{*0}/K$ ratio from the thermal model is consistent with data inmost-peripheral collisions, however it overpredicts the ratio in central Au+Aucollisions. This could be due to the fact that the thermal model does not havea hadronic rescattering phase, which is expected to be dominant in more centralcollisions. Furthermore, we have studied the $K^{*0}/K$ ratio from UrQMD byvarying the hadron propagation time ($\tau$) within the range 5 to 50 fm/c. Itwas found that the $K^{*0}/K$ ratio decreases with increasing $\tau$.Comparison between data and UrQMD suggest, one needs to consider a $\tau$$\approx$ 10-50 fm/c to explain data at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7-39 GeV in Au+Aucollisions. We also predict the rapidity distribution of $K^{*0}$ from UrQMDwhich could be measured in the STAR beam energy scan phase II (BES-II) program.
