Larsen-Borgnakke model, widely used in the DSMC method to simulate rotation-translation and vibration-translation exchanges in molecular collisions, is applied for the first time to resonant exchange between the vibrational modes of diatomic molecules (VV exchange). The validation of the model is performed through comparisons with experimental data on VV exchange in nitrogen.
