Noise-separated evidence for a slow collective displacement in a rarefied hypersonic bow-shock layer

Ahmad Shoja-sani, Ehsan Roohi

Time-resolved direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) fields are used to test whether a detached rarefied hypersonic bow shock contains a slow collective displacement that can be sepa…

Rarefaction-induced inflation and similarity breakdown of hypersonic bow shocks over a circular cylinder

Ehsan Roohi, Ahmad Shoja-Sani

Rarefied hypersonic bow shocks over blunt bodies inflate as the Knudsen number increases, but it remains unclear whether this inflation is a simple shift and broadening of one comm…

Physics Constrained Neural Collision Operators for Variable Hard Sphere Surrogates and Ab Initio Angle Prediction in Direct Simulation Monte Carlo

Ehsan Roohi, Ahmad Shoja-Sani, Stefan Stefanov

The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is the gold standard for non-equilibrium rarefied gas dynamics, yet its computational cost can be prohibitive, especially for near-c…
