Title: Effects of Surface Corrugation on Gas-Surface Scattering and Macroscopic Flows
Title: 表面波纹对气体-表面散射和宏观流动的影响
Abstract: Gas-surface scattering exhibits a transition from thermal to structure scattering regime as incident energy increases, characterized by changes in angular and energy distributions. Capturing scattering behavior across different regimes is essential for modeling momentum and energy exchange at the gas-surface interface. This study presents a corrugated Cercignani-Lampis-Lord (CLL) model to account for surface corrugation in scattering. It extends the washboard-CLL hybrid approach by incorporating tangential momentum accommodation in local collisions. The model is validated against molecular beam scattering experiments, focusing on its ability to reproduce the variation in scattering behavior with increasing incident energy. Compared to the conventional CLL model, the proposed model qualitatively improves the representation of key features across the scattering regimes. In particular, it captures broader angular distributions and increasing reflected energy with reflected angle at higher incident energy. It is further applied to Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) analysis of rarefied flows over a cylinder and within an intake to examine the influence of surface corrugation on macroscopic flow behavior. The results show that surface corrugation has limited impact on total drag, while decreasing pressure drag and increasing friction drag. In the intake, enhanced tangential accommodation reduces capture efficiency and increases compression ratio. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating surface corrugation in rarefied flow simulations under VLEO conditions.
