Abstract
The direct-simulation Monte-Carlo method for the full Boltzmann equation is applied to the problem of rarefied hypersonic flow of rotationally excited N2 past the leading edge of a two-dimensional flat plate aligned with the free stream. An approximate collision model representing rotational–translational energy exchanges is developed for use in the calculations. The effects of this and other inelastic collision models and of the single-parameter Maxwell gas–surface interaction law on the flow in the kinetic/transition regime are discussed.
