    Abstract
  • DSMC code is validated with GOCE satellite free molecule aerodynamics data in\linebreak reference. The difference of GOCE satellite flow field and aerodynamic characteristics computed with different wall reflect coefficient is shown. Results show that the drag force coefficient computed by present code is in good agreement with that of the reference. When the wall reflection coefficient is changed from 0.1 to 1.0, the pressure distribution at the local stagnation and wing head region is shown to change from banded structure to ellipse structure. With the wall reflection coefficient increasing, the friction drag coefficient increases, and the pressure drag coefficient decreases, which results in that the total drag coefficient increases firstly, decreases then, and reaches its maximum when the wall reflection coefficient is about 0.8.
