Assessment of gas–surface interaction models for computation of rarefied hypersonic flow
Open accessAbstract
Among the few classes of computational approaches for examining rarefied gas dynamics, the most widely used technique for spatial scales relevant to suborbital spaceflight is the direct simulation Monte Carlo method.One area in which the direct simulation Monte Carlo method can be improved is the numerical modeling of the interactions between gas molecules and solid surfaces.Gas-surface interactions are not well understood for rarefied hypersonic conditions, although various models have been developed.The goal of this study is the assessment of gas-surface interaction models in use with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method.Assessment is made of the two most common gas-surface interaction models in use with direct simulation Monte Carlo: the Maxwell model and the Cercignani, Lampis, and Lord model.The assessment is performed by simulations of flat-plate wind-tunnel tests.Boundary-layer profiles are compared with existing wind-tunnel data.At about 90% accommodation, both models match the wind-tunnel profiles.Parametric studies demonstrate differences between the model predictions of scattering distributions, boundary-layer profiles, and surface-property distributions.The two models offer similar performance for computing flat-plate aerodynamics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
