Molecular Kinetic Simulations of Transient and Steady Wave Propagation into a Planet’s Exosphere

Molecular Kinetic Simulations of Transient and Steady Wave Propagation into a Planet’s Exosphere

The vertical propagation of wave energy into a planet’s exosphere, a process that affects atmospheric evolution, is calculated here using 1D molecular kinetic simulations. Effects sensitive to molecular interactions are examined by comparing simulation results to solutions of linear fluid models for...
