Details of the Javascript implementation of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and a how to guide to plotting animated simulation results with Javascript and HTML5 canvas element. (Dec 26 2012)
DSMC, or Direct Simulation Monte Carlo, is a particle based method for simulating gas kinetics. Popularized by G.A. Bird in the 60's, this method is now commonly used as an alternative to CFD. In addition, DSMC is commonly combined with PIC codes to include collisions in plasma simulations. This article demonstrates the method with an interactive HTML5 DSMC demo. (Dec 19 2012)
The final part of the multipart Startfish tutorial. In this part we discuss adding material interactions, including chemical reactions, Monte Carlo Collisions (MCC), and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC). (Dec 12 2012)
