MC-New: A Program to Calculate Newtonian Aerodynamic Coefficients Based on Monte-Carlo Integration

Michiko Ahn Furudate    

Resumen

A computer program, MC-New, to calculate Newtonian aerodynamics is presented. The aerodynamic coefficients of a geometry expressed by an analytic function are calculated in a Monte-Carlo integration manner, in which the local forces on the randomly chosen sample points are summed up. The verification study and the accuracy analysis show that the program can provide good approximations of exact solutions. The example results of the parametric study on the Apollo-like entry capsule geometry are presented, showing the potential capability of the MC-New program as an efficient open-source tool for designing hypersonic vehicles.
