Nonequilibrium gas dynamics and molecular simulation / Iain D. Boyd, University of Michigan, Thomas E. Schwartzentruber, University of Minnesota.

By: Boyd, Iain D, 1964- [author.].
Contributor(s): Schwartzentruber, Thomas E, 1977- [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSeries: Cambridge aerospace series: 42.Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2017Description: 1 online resource (xxi, 360 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9781139683494 (ebook).Subject(s): Gas dynamics -- Mathematical models | Molecular dynamics | Gas flow -- Mathematical models | Nonequilibrium thermodynamics | Kinetic theory of gases | Monte Carlo methodAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 533/.2 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
Kinetic theory -- Statistical mechanics -- Finite-rate processes -- Relations between molecular and continuum gas dynamics er-atomic potentials -- Direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) -- DSMC models for nonequilibrium thermochemistry.
Summary: This current and comprehensive book provides an updated treatment of molecular gas dynamics topics for aerospace engineers, or anyone researching high-temperature gas flows for hypersonic vehicles and propulsion systems. It demonstrates how the areas of quantum mechanics, kinetic theory, and statistical mechanics can combine in order to facilitate the study of nonequilibrium processes of internal energy relaxation and chemistry. All of these theoretical ideas are used to explain the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, a numerical technique based on molecular simulation. Because this text provides comprehensive coverage of the physical models available for use in the DSMC method, in addition to the equations and algorithms required to implement the DSMC numerical method, readers will learn to solve nonequilibrium flow problems and perform computer simulations, and obtain a more complete understanding of various physical modeling options for DSMC than is available in other texts.
