(DSMC) Molecular Simulation of Rarefied Gas Flow

The following program is a demonstration of the Direct Molecular Simulation (Monte-Carlo) (DSMC) technique. This program has been supplied by Emeritus Professor G. A. Bird, a principal researcher in this field.

DSMC is a Monte Carlo technique used to simulate the statistical behaviour of gas molecules. Given the current development of the method and the capability of computer systems the method is limited to the modelling of diffuse gas behaviour. Applications are in areas such as re-entry vehicle flows, low earth orbit satellite drag, rocket nozzle contamination effects and MEMS (microscale flows) .
