Abstract DSMC simulation of re-entry of an object with shape and size close to that of ISRO’s Space Recovery Experiment (SRE) capsule has been analysed
using the open-source tool dsmcFoam for three altitude conditions, viz. 85 km, 100 km and 115 km, and for three angles of attack, viz. 0
o
, 20o&40o
.
The hypersonic free stream velocity of 8000 m/s and boundary surface temperature of 300 K have been used for the simulations. The variation of
parameters such as surface heat flux, surface pressure, shear stress, slip velocity, temperature jump and integrals such as total heat transfer, pressure
