Direct simulation Monte Carlo: The quest for speed
Open accessAbstract
In the 50 years since its invention, the acceptance and applicability of the DSMC method have increased significantly.Extensive verification and validation efforts have led to its greater acceptance, whereas the increase in computer speed has been the main factor behind its greater applicability.As the performance of a single processor reaches its limit, massively parallel computing is expected to play an even stronger role in its future development.

DSMC codes and panel-method codes, such as SPARTA, ADBSat, and the Response Surface Modelling Toolkit, implement GSI models and are often used to estimate the aerodynamic coefficients of a given platform geometry.
“Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) codes and panel-method codes, such as SPARTA (Gallis et al. [29]), ADBSat (Sinpetru et al. [30]), and the Response Surface Modelling Toolkit (Sheridan et al. [31]), implement GSI models and are often used to estimate the aerodynamic coefficients of a given platform geometry.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
