Graeme A. Bird
Abstract
Few of those who read the 1963 research note by Graeme A. Bird in Physics of Fluids could have imagined that 50 years later the proposed new numerical technique would have become the dominant numerical technique in molecular gas dynamics. The introduction of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method not only has altered the field of molecular gas dynamics but also has influenced fields such as physical chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and aerothermodynamics. Further, the DSMC method has been used to probe into previously uninvestigated theoretical aspects of the Boltzmann equation and has also served as a platform for the development of nonequilibrium chemistry models. The DSMC method’s most noteworthy achievement is that molecular gas dynamics became a practical tool in the hands of aerospace engineers in many situations of spacecraft design and mission analysis.
