SPHERE DRAG AT HIGH KNUDSEN NUMBER AND LOW MACH NUMBER.

Abstract

The drag of a sphere is calculated for the case of low Mach number and high Knudsen number. The method of Knudsen iteration is used to predict the drag correct to order of the inverse Knudsen number. The BhatnagerGross-Krook model is used to describe the intermolecular collision process. (Author)
