Description:

BL Second edition of a highly regarded textBL Covers the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) methodBL This new edition was reprinted without the need to include a disk, this is due to the fact that upgraded versions can be downloaded from the companion web site http://gab.com.au/ This new edition is bound to become the definitive text on (rarefied) gas dynamics as it brings the subject completely up-to-date. However this new edition was reprinted without the need to include a disk, this is due to the fact that upgraded versions can be downloaded from the companion web site http://gab.com.au/ Since, 1976, and the first edition of this text, the DSMC method has become widely used. This development is a result of the increased application of computing to this field. The text includes all the refinements and research results since 1976 and exemplifies the improvement in molecular models, procedures, and implementation of the DSMC method.

Synopsis:

The direct simulation Monte Carlo (or DSMC) method has, in recent years, become widely used in engineering and scientific studies of gas flows that involve low densities or very small physical dimensions. This method is a direct physical simulation of the motion of representative molecules, rather than a numerical solution of the equations that provide a mathematical model of the flow. These computations are no longer expensive and the period since the 1976 publication of the original Molecular Gas Dynamics has seen enormous improvements in the molecular models, the procedures, and the implementation strategies for the DSMC method. The molecular theory of gas flows is developed from first principles and is extended to cover the new models and procedures. Note: The disk that originally came with this book is no longer available. However, the same information is available from the author's website (http://gab.com.au/)
