% Surface accommodation drag on a cylinder
 Numerically compute the coefficient of drag on a cylinder in free molecular
 flow and compare to the analytical solution. You can change the number of
 divisions in the mesh to see how it affects the accuracy of the
 numerical solution; 20 is much more accurate than 10.
