A Stable Backward Monte Carlo Method for the Solution of the Boltzmann Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Backward Monte Carlo methods for solving the Boltzmann equation are investigated. A stable estimator is proposed since a previously published estimator was found to be numerically instable. The principle of detailed balance, which is obeyed by state transitions of a physical system and ensures existence of a stable equilibrium solution, is violated by the transition probability of the unstable method, and is satisfied by construction with the proposed backward transition probability.

متن کاملComparison between Time Relaxed Monte Carlo Method and Majorant Frequency Scheme methods for the space homogeneous Boltzmann equation
Recently a new class of schemes, called Time Relaxed Monte Carlo (TRMC) has been introduced for the numerical solution of the Boltzmann equation of gas dynamics. The motivation is to propose a systematic framework to derive Monte Carlo methods effective near the fluid dynamic regime. Before the methods can be accepted as alternative tools to other methods, they have to show that they are able t...
متن کاملStochastic models and Monte Carlo algorithms for Boltzmann type equations
In this paper we are concerned with three typical aspects of the Monte Carlo approach. First there is a certain eld of application, namely physical systems described by the Boltzmann equation. Then some class of stochastic models is introduced and its relation to the equation is studied using probability theory. Finally Monte Carlo algorithms based on those models are constructed. Here numerica...
