Summary:

The direct simulation Monte Carlo (or DSMC) method has become widely used for engineering and scientific studies of gas flows that involve low densities or very small physical dimensions. This book is developed from first principles and has been extended to cover the new models and procedures.

Contents:

The molecular model

Binary elastic collisions

Basic kinetic theory

Equilibrium gas properties

Inelastic collisions and surface interactions

Chemical reactions and thermal radiation

Collisionless flows

Analytical methods for transition regime flows

Numerical methods for transition regime flows

General issues related to direct simulations

DSMC procedures in a homogeneous gas

One-dimensional steady flows

One-dimensional unsteady flows

Two-dimensional flows

Axially symmetric flows

Three-dimensional flows

Appendix A. Representative gas properties

Appendix B. Probability functions and related integrals
