DSMC modeling of rarefied ionization reactions and applications to hypervelocity spacecraft reentry flows

Abstract The DSMC modeling is developed to simulate three-dimensional (3D) rarefied ionization flows and numerically forecast the communication blackout around spacecraft during hypervelocity reentry. A new weighting factor scheme for rare species is introduced, whose key point is to modify the corr...
