HTML5 + Javascript DSMC Simulation

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.

Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) Method

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.

Interactive Elliptic Mesh Generation with SVG and Javascript

SVG and Javascript can be used to create interactive applications and graphical user interfaces. Here is an example of an interactive elliptic mesh generator.

Smooth Bézier Spline Through Prescribed Points

How do you construct a smooth line through a set of prescribed points? This article shows you how. It also includes an interactive SVG demo that allows you to try it in real-time.

HTML5 for Scientific Computing

HTML5 is the new standard for writing webpages. It introduces several new powerful capabilities, such as embedded video and drag and drop. It also introduces a new tag called canvas that allows us to do real time graphing and visualization using Javascript. In this example we show you how to plot XY graphs using Javascript and HTML5.
