Thermally Driven Atmospheric Escape: Transition from Diffusion-limited to Drag-off Escape

Thermally Driven Atmospheric Escape: Transition from Diffusion-limited to Drag-off Escape

We examine the transition from diffusion-limited to drag-off escape using a direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) model developed to simulate planetary atmospheres, referred to as Harrah. A 1D spherically symmetric DSMC model is used to simulate two-component atmospheres to focus on the impact of rar...
