Description:
Three intermolecular collision models have been used in Monte Carlo direct simulation computations. Their merits have been assessed by comparing the predictions given for two contrasting flows with experimental results. In one flow viscous effects were predominant; in the other the rapid compression ahead of a blunt body was the feature concentrated upon. In both examples the flows were rarefied and hypersonic and the gas was diatomic and rotationally excited. © 1983, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
