abstract = "Numerical simulations of two-dimensional steady-state rarefied
hypersonic flow in a gap at different length-todepth (L\∕H)
ratio are performed by using the direct simulation Monte Carlo
(DSMC) method. The work focuses on the effects in the aerodynamic
surface quantities, such as heat transfer, pressure, and skin
friction coefficients due to variations in the gap L\∕H
ratio. The analysis showed that aerodynamic surface quantities
presented a large dependence on the L\∕H ratio for the
range investigated. It was found that heat transfer, pressure, and
skin friction coefficients presented the maximum values along the
gap downstream face, more precisely, at the vicinity of the gap
shoulder. Furthermore, simulations showed that pressure and
heating loads are larger than those for a smooth surface, for the
conditions investigated.",
