DSMC Software
Multiple implementations of the DSMC method exist:
- DS1V, DS2V and DS3V are the original DSMC programs written by Prof. Bird. These programs have a visual user interface that can be used for configuration and post processing.
- dsmcFoam is a DSMC solver for 2D and 3D flows. dsmcFoam is part of the open source CFD package OpenFOAM.
- MONACO is a DSMC solver developed by Prof. Iain Boyd's group at the University of Michigan.
- PI-DSMC is a commercial DSMC software package for 2D and 3D flows.
- SMILE (Statistical Modeling in Low-density Environment) is a general purpose 2D/3D parallel DSMC software system developed since 1998 by Computational Aerodynamics Laboratory (L7) at the Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. SMILE has been the principle aerodynamic analysis tool for high-altitude stages of reentry of the Mir Space Station as well as many other Russian and European space vehicle projects.
- MGDS is a fully 3D DSMC solver incorporating three level adaptive mesh refinement and a cut cell algorithm developed by Prof. Tom Schwartzentruber's group at the University of Minnesota.
- Molflow is a 3D DSMC simulator currently developed at CERN for the simulation of free molecular flow (vacuum) systems.
- SAMADII/SCiV (Statistical Contact in Vacuum) is general purpose 3D DSMC software system based on multi-GPUs.
