Numerical simulation of flows over vacuometers by means of the Monte-Carlo method of direct statistical simulation

Resumo

An upper atmosphere probe is considered. For the atmosphere parameters, a reconstruction method using the density data by a vacuometer located behind a wire screen is constructed. In the context of the Monte-Carlo method of direct statistical simulation, we propose a simplified simulation algorithm for the interactions of a molecule with the wire screen treated as a semipermeable membrane. To obtain a relationship between the transmitter reading and the parameters of the undisturbed atmosphere, we numerically simulate the flow over the transmitter.
