Rarefied Nozzle Flow Computation Using the Viscosity-Based Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Method by Deepa Raj Mopuru, Nishanth Dongari, Srihari Payyavula

“…Given the high Knudsen numbers associated with micro-nozzle flows, rarefied gas dynamics often dominate, and conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods fail to capture accurate flow expansion behavior. The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, developed by Bird, is widely used for modeling rarefied flows; however, it has been primarily implemented on platforms like OpenFOAM and FORTRAN, with limited exploration in MATLAB. …”
