Abstract

The results of Monte Carlo calculations are given for the aerodynamic characteristics of different bodies in free-molecular and near-free-molecular conditions. The calculations are made for different models of the interaction between the attenuated-gas flow and the surface of the body. Analysis and comparison of the results obtained with available experimental and natural data serves as the basis for a discussion of the applicability of individual parameters of these models in practical calculations.
