                         steps have been numerically investigated by using the Direct 
                         Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The work is motivated by 
                         interest in assessing the impact of surface discontinuities on 
                         hypersonic configurations in the transition flow regime. The 
                         computations were carried out by assuming step frontal-face height 
                         from 3 to 5 millimeters and freestream Mach number from 5 to 25 at 
                         zero-degree angle of incidence. The results highlight some 
                         significant differences on the aerodynamic surface quantities due 
                         to variations on the step frontal-face height and on the 
                         freestream Mach number. Interesting features observed on pressure, 
                         skin friction, and heat transfer coefficients showed that small 
                         frontal-face thickness, compared to the freestream mean free path, 
                         still has important effects on these properties for the freestream
