In the following chapters we will discuss particle methods for the numerical simulation of
rarefied gas flows. We will mainly treat a billiard game, that is, our particles will be hard …

Simulation methods like DSMC are efficient tools to compute rarefied gas flows. Using
supercomputers it is possible to include various real gas effects like vibrational energies or …

This paper describes the nCUBE 2S processor's hardware and software facilities for
communication. The processor's Network Communication Unit consists of three layers: the …

Purpose–A computational fluid dynamics code for the calculation of laminar hypersonic multi‐
species gas flows in chemical non‐equilibrium in axisymmetric or two‐dimensional …

Particle methods to simulate rarefied gas flows have found an increasing interest in
Computational Fluid Dynamics during the last decade, see for example [1],[2],[3] and [4]. The …

There seems to be no doubt any longer, that it is not recommendable to use the Navier-
Stokes equation for the description of the flow around aspace vehicle in altitudes above 80 …

Some physical systems need to be modeled for simulation so that they evolve in time in both
a time-driven (time-stepped) and an event-driven manner. An example is a system of …

The Finite-pointset method (FPM) is a mesh-free Lagrangian method. In this article, we
discuss issues in parallelizing the FPM on distributed memory architecture. The Message …

The paper presents some adaptive load balance techniques for the simulation of rarefied
gas flows on parallel computers. It is shown that a static load balance is insufficient to obtain …

This paper focuses on buffer management issues in wormhole-routed torus multicomputer
networks. The commonly used buffer organizations are the centralized and dedicated buffer …
