Abstract
This paper demonstrates the newly developed particle method in the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) framework, and we refer to it as the Maxwellian–DSMC (M–DSMC) method. The M–DSMC solver is utilized for various fluid flow problems with different length scales varied from continuum to transitional regime. The hypersonic flow of argon over a cylinder simulation is carried out using M–DSMC and the same simulation results are compared with the regular DSMC method. The present work shows that the M–DSMC results are quite a good match with the DSMC results. The computational cost is significantly reduced by using M–DSMC method and the same is compared with regular DSMC method.
