Navier/Stokes/Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Modeling of Small Cold Gas Thruster Nozzle and Plume Flows

This study involves the modeling of small cold-gas (N2) thrusters nozzle and plume flows, their interactions with spacecraft surfaces and the induced pressure environment. These small cold-gas thrusters were used for pitch, yaw and roll control and were mounted on the bottom of the conical Environm...
