The present paper is the follow-on of a former work in which the influence of the gas-surface interaction models was evaluated on the aerodynamic coefficients of an aero-space-plane and on a section of its wing. The models by Maxwell and by Cercignani-Lampis-Lord were compared by means of Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) codes. In that paper the diffusive, fully accommodated, semi-specular and specular accommodation coefficients were considered. The results pointed out that the influence of the interaction models, considering the above mentioned accommodation coefficients, is pretty strong while the Cercignani-Lampis-Lord and the Maxwell models are practically equivalent. In the present paper, the comparison of the same models is carried out considering the dependence of the accommodation coefficients on the angle of incidence (or partial accommodation coefficients). More specifically, the normal and the tangential momentum partial accommodation coefficients, obtained experimentally by Knetchel and Pitts, have been implemented. Computer tests on a NACA-0012 airfoil have been carried out by the DSMC code DS2V-64 bits. The airfoil, of 2 m chord, has been tested both in clean and flapped configurations. The simulated conditions were those at an altitude of 100 km where the airfoil is in transitional regime. The results confirmed that the two interaction models are practically equivalent and verified that the use of the Knetchel and Pitts coefficients involves results very close to those computed considering a diffusive, fully accommodated interaction both in clean and flapped configurations.

A preliminary design of gas-gp thermal switch is presented to reduce the cooldown time of superconducting system conduction-cooled by a two-stage refrigerator without liquid cryogens. The switch connects thermally the first and the second stages (ON) to take advantage of the larger refrigeration capacity at the first stage during the beginning period. After the cryogenic temperature is reached, the switch should isolate thermally the two stages (OFF) in order to reduce the heat leak to the cold end. In this paper, a new concept for the performance index is introduced to evaluate the reduction of the cooldown time and the increase of the cooling load at the same time. In addition, the design of a gas-gap switch is discussed as a closed container of several staggered concentric tubes filled with gas, which is frozen at low temperatures for the shut-off of heat without any mechanical actuation. Some of the detailed features in the design is quantitative investigated by the gas convection model in the continuum or the rarefied gas region.

A kinetic theory analysis is made of low-speed gas flows around a micro-plate. The Boltzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the discrete ordinate method. The method does not suffer from statistical noise which is common in particle based methods and requires much less amount of computational effort. Calculations are made for flows around a micro-scale flat plate with a finite length of 20 microns. The method is assessed by comparing the results with those from several different methods and available experimental data.

The flow in low-density plumes expanding into a region of finite pressure shows a quite different behavior from that observed in low-density plumes expanding into a vacuum. The flow structure in the plume varies depending on applied ambient and stagnation chamber conditions. In the present study, the direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method based on molecular gas dynamics is employed in the analysis of low-density gas flows expanding through a small converging/diverging nozzle. Special attention has been paid to the effect of non-zero ambient and stagnation pressures on the flow structure which has rarely been studied using the DSMC method.

본 연구에서는 특별히 PC cluster와 같은 병렬 환경에서 효율적인 계산을 수행할 수 있는 격자중심에 기초한 직접모사 기법을 개발하였다. 병렬환경 하에서의 효과적인 계산 수행을 위해서는 전체 계산 영역을 격자수와 각 격자에 할당되는 모사 입자 수를 고려한 부 영역들로 나누어주었다. 또한, 격자 사용의 효율성 증대를 위해서는 매우 성긴 격자에서부터 출발하여 점차적인 격자 적응을 수행하였다. 본 방법은 2차원의 초음속 평판 문제와 축대칭의 Rothe, 노즐 문제에 적용하였다. 그 결과로부터 본 방법을 사용하면 기존의 입자 중심 기법에 비해 매우 효율적으로 희박기체 유동을 해석할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

저궤도에서 운용되는 위성은 대기 저항에 의한 연료소모가 크며, 연료소모는 임무수명 및 발사무게에 영향을 미치게 되어 위성 형상에 따른 항력의 예측이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 직접모사법을 이용하여 파라볼릭 안테나를 탑재한 저궤도 위성의 임무고도의 변화와 받음각에 따른 항력 및 항력 계수의 변화를 살펴보았다. 저궤도의 희박 기체의 거동을 모사하는 직접모사법의 적용성을 검증하기 위해 스타샤인(Starshine) 위성의 비행데이터를 이용하여 고도, 대기와 표면의 상호작용에 따른 항력 계수를 비교하였다. 결론적으로 계산결과로부터 저궤도 위성의 정밀한 궤도수명 계산에 적합한 항력 계수를 도출하였다.

본 연구에서는 희박기체 환경의 유동 정보를 효과적으로 계산하기 위해 CFD 해석기법과 DSMC 해석기법 간 연계 해석을 수행하는 CFD/DSMC 혼합해석기법을 개발하였으며, 개발된 해석기법을 이용하여 천이영역에서의 고속 비행체 주위 유동에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 형상으로는 콘과 실린더 형태로 이루어진 FRESH-FX 형상으로 고려하였고, 혼합해석기법의 결과는 순수 CFD 및 DSMC 해석 결과와 비교하였다. 천이영역의 대기가 상대적으로 희박하여 초음속 유동에서 발생하는 충격파의 구배 및 세기가 약화된 것을 확인하였다. 순수 CFD 해석 결과와는 차이를 보였고, 순수 DSMC 해석 결과와 거의 일치하는 결과를 도출하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 순수 DSMC 계산시간보다 해석 시간이 감소하였다. 이를 통해 혼합해석기법의 결과에 대한 신뢰성 및 해석 시간에서의 효율을 확인하였다.

The direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) method is applied to investigate steady and unsteady flow fields of a single-stage disk-type drag pump. Two different kinds of pumps are considered: the first one is a rotor-rotor combination, and the second one is a rotor-stator combination. The pumping channels are cut on a rotor and stator. The rotor and stator have 10 Archimedes' spiral blades, respectively. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere model is used as a molecular model, and the no time counter method is employed as a collision sampling technique. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Borgnakke-Larsen phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies. The DSMC results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

The study of nonlinear gas transport in rarefied condition or associated with the microscale length of the geometry has emerged as an interesting topic in recent years. Along with the DSMC method, several fluid dynamic models that come under the general category of the moment method or the Chapman-Enskog method have been used for this type of problem. In the present study, on the basis of Eu's generalized hydrodynamics, a computational model for diatomic gases is proposed. The preliminary result indicates that the bulk viscosity plays a considerable role in fundamental flow problems such as the shock structure and shear flow. The general properties of the constitutive equations are obtained through a simple mathematical analysis. With an iterative computational algorithm of the constitutive equations, numerical solutions for the multi-dimensional problem can be obtained.

Recently, micro shock tube is being extensively used in various fields of engineering applications. The flow characteristics occurring in the micro shock tube may be significantly different from that of conventional macro shock tube due to very low Reynolds number and Knudsen number effects which are, in general, manifested in such flows of rarefied gas, solid-gas two-phase, etc. In these situations, Navier-Stokes equations cannot properly predict the micro shock tube flow. In the present study, a two-dimensional CFD method has been applied to simulate the micro shock tube, with slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions. The effects of wall thermal conditions on the unsteady flow in the micro shock tube were also investigated. The unsteady behaviors of shock wave and contact discontinuity were, in detail, analyzed. The results obtained show much more attenuation of shock wave, compared with macro-shock tubes.
