Sommario

Nel presente lavoro viene applicato un modello spaziale impulsivo di interazione superficiale[1] al calcolo dei coefficienti di resistenza e portanza per lamina piana, sfera e cilindro con deriva in regime di molecole libere con velocità ipertermiche. I risultati ottenuti per la lamina piana vengono confrontati con i corrispondenti coefficienti calcolati teoricamente da Hurlbut e Sherman nel1968 [3].

Summary

A spatial impulsive interaction model is applied to the calculation of drag and lift coefficients for flat plate, sphere and circular cylinder with side-wind in “hyperthermal” free-molecule flow. Obtained results for flat plate are also compared with the corresponding coefficients calculated by Hurlbut and Sherman in1968 according to the Nocilla reemission model(1962).
