Aerodynamic Coefficients in Rarefied Flows: From Micro to Macro Scales (A02)
Subject Area
Fluid Mechanics
Term
since 2024
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 516238647
A detailed gas-surface interaction model with surface chemical reactions will be developed and implemented in the gas kinetic DSMC code PICLas, using microscopic data from A01. This will enable more accurate predictions of drag and lift coefficients, bridging the gap between microscopic approaches and the required macroscopic values for entire satellites. Furthermore, methods from "Uncertainty Quantification" are investigated and implemented to account for uncertainties from flow boundary conditions and satellite design.
