% Computes the CL and CD for free molecular flow. If tA is entered, it will use Maxwellian. It has built in sigmaN and sigmaT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: CLCDFreeMolecular( v, m, tW, beta, tA, sigmaN, sigmaT ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ v (1,1) Velocity (m/sec) m (1,1) Mean molecular weight tW (1,1) Plate data structure beta (1,:) Angle between the plate and the flow tA (1,1) Atmospheric Temperature sigmaN (1,:) Normal accommodation coefficients sigmaT (1,:) Tangential accommodation coefficients ------- Outputs ------- cL (1,:) Lift coefficient cD (1,:) Drag coefficient -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Storch, J.A., "Aerodynamic Disturbances on Spacecraft in Free-Molecular Flow," October 2002, SMC-TR-03-06. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
