A Distance Learning Course in the Direct Simulation Monte
Carlo (DSMC) method.

Description:

 

From hypersonic space vehicle re-entry to pressure-driven  

microscale gas flows, the direct simulation Monte Carlo  

(DSMC) method remains the dominant numerical approach. 

 

This distance learning course makes use of the open  

source DSMC code dsmcFoamPlus, developed at the  

Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow, which has now  

been enhanced to include for chemical reactions using the  

quantum-kinetic (QK) approach and low-speed, pressure- 

driven, microscale gas flows.  The code operates in a  

Linux environment. 

 

The distance learning course consists of: 

 

1) A comprehensive set of course notes describing the  

background to the DSMC approach for high- and low-speed  

applications using the enhanced version of dsmcFoamPlus. 

 

2) Provision of the dsmcFoamPlus code and instructions  

for installation. 

 

3) A set of tutorial cases for low- and high-speed  

applications including pressure-driven microscale flows  

and hypersonic reacting flows. 

 

4) On-line, forum-based support using the DSMC threads on  

http://www.cfd-online.com/.
