An experimental analysis of the interaction of a rarefied jet plume with a cylinder-plate system is presented. The main goal is to show that the gas rarefaction can change the distribution of pressure between the two bodies quite unpredictably. The geometrical configuration has been proposed as test case to investigate the development of plume that are typically present in complex structures on spatial satellite. The results are qualitatively in a good agreement with analogous experiments and numerical simulations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
An experimental analysis of the interaction of a rarefied jet plume with a cylinder-plate system is presented. The main goal is to show that the gas rarefaction can change the distribution of pressure between the two bodies quite unpredictably. The geometrical configuration has been proposed as test case to investigate the development of plume that are typically present in complex structures on spatial satellite. The results are qualitatively in a good agreement with analogous experiments and numerical simulations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
