Abstract：The numerical method for the steady Navier-Stokes equations is studied to solve the inner flow field of the nozzle. The N-S computing technique with the slip-boundary theory is developed for the near-continuum slip flow near the nozzle exit. The DSMC method for the flow of axial symmetry is studied to simu-late the core plume, the DSMC scheme for the simulation of three-dimensional far-field plume flow is devel- oped, and the DSMC method is studied for multi-species mixture plume. Then, the multiregion decomposing and coupling technique is developed to solve the inside and outside flow of the thruster including the near- field, far-field, backflow and gas-surface infected regions. As a result, the numerical simulation method has been presented to compute the gas-fired mixture plume from the attitude-control thruster of the satellite and the impinging contamination on the surface of the solar array panel and satellite. To study the contamination effects produced by the five-species mixture plume from two representative attitude-control thrusters installed in different locations of the satellite in orbit, the present method is adopted to simulate the nozzle inflow, tremendous plume flowfield of five-species mixture including the impinging contamination of the particles from the gas-fired plume. The flowfield properties of the gas-fired plume from the attitude-control thrusters are obtained, the related computed results are compared and analyzed with the experimental measurement and other theoretical calculation, which validates the reliability of the present numerical method.
