Free molecular gas drag on fluffy aggregates
Dynamical behaviors of dust particles are governed by gas drag forces in a variety of environments of astrophysical interest, such as protoplanetary disks, upper planetary atmospheres or cometary coma. Monte Carlo (MC) and Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations have been performed to estimate the drag forces on fluffy aggregates in the free molecular limit, using two different models of molecule-s...
متن کاملThe Drag-Free Satellite
A scientific earth satellite that is guided in a drag-free orbit by a shielded, free-falling proof mass has been proposed by a number of investigators. This paper examines the feasibility and some of the applications of this scheme. The control and guidance system is analyzed with respect to system performance and gas usage requirements. The principal trajectory errors that are due to vehicle g...
متن کاملOn the effect of gas drag on the dust dynamics
We investigate in this paper the effect of gas drag on the dynamics of the dust particles in the edge-on β Pictoris disc in order to derive an upper limit on the mass of gas in this system. Our study is motivated by the large uncertainties on the amount of gas in the β Pictoris disc currently found in the literature. The dust particles are assumed to originate from a colliding annulus of planet...
متن کاملGravitational Capture of Asteroids by Gas Drag
Several irregular satellites of the giant planets were found in the last years. Their orbital configuration suggests that these satellites were asteroids captured by the planets. The restricted three-body problem can explain the dynamics of the capture, but the capture is temporary. It is necessary some kind of dissipative effect to turn the temporary capture into a permanent one. In this work ...
متن کاملStudy on the Characteristics of Gas Molecular Mean Free Path in Nanopores by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
This paper presents studies on the characteristics of gas molecular mean freepath in nanopores by molecular dynamics simulation. Our study results indicate that themean free path of all molecules in nanopores depend on both the radius of the nanoporeand the gas-solid interaction strength. Besides mean free path of all molecules in thenanopore, this paper highlights the gas molecular mean free p...
