  • Published:
Thermophysics and Aeromechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Numerical studies of the aerodynamic characteristics of the “Federation” reentry vehicle are performed by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for an altitude of 90 km. Quantitative effects of a number of physical and chemical models of this method on the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle are demonstrated.
