Abstract

To study the interaction of nozzle plume and lunar dust, the plume-dust two-phase flow simulation is implemented on the self-developed DSMC workstation. The momentum and energy transfer to lunar dust particle from the rarefied gas flow was computed. Particle-particle collision is considered as hard sphere collision. The dust particles are accelerated by the gas and a lunar crater is formed.
