Abstract:
Flow around a body moving at a high subsonic velocity in a tube filled with rarefied gas is studied. This aerodynamic problem is considered as applied to the task of designing a high-speed vacuum transport at finite Knudsen numbers. Parameters that are close to target characteristics of such systems are chosen, more precisely, speed of about 1000 km/h, significant transverse size of the body, and nitrogen–oxygen mixture (air) as the filling gas are chosen. The problem was solved in a three-dimensional statement.
