Numerical analysis of flows past two parallel flat plates in the free-molecular regime
Preview AbstractA numerical investigation is presented for a free-molecular flow past two parallel circular flat plates using the test particle Monte Carlo (TPMC) method, with flow shadowing and multiple reflections analyzed. Flow shadowing and multiple reflections have a significant effect on aerodynamic forces, and the distance-to-radius ratio of the two plates has a considerable influence on flow shadowing and multiple reflections. As the distance-to-radius ratio increases, flow shadowing and multiple reflections become weaker. Different distance-to-radius ratios result in different surface pressure distributions.
