% 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. Reference: Storch, J.
