....time step is comprised of five events: 1. Collisionless motion of particles. 2. Enforcement of boundary conditions. 3. Pairing of collision partners. 4. Collision of selected collision partners. 5. Sampling for macroscopic flow quantities. Detailed description of these algorithms may be found in [21] and [8] 5.1 SIMD Implementation of Particle Simulation Particle simulation is distinct from other CFD applications in that there are two levels of parallel granularity in the method. There is a coarse level consisting of cells in the simulation (which are approximately equivalent to grid points ....

....regions. This application is used by aerospace researchers to study the forces exerted on space vehicles as they pass through the upper atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. In low density conditions, Monte Carlo methods that rely on the discrete particle nature are used [Fallavollita et al. 92, McDonald 89] Computation is performed on random pairs of molecules. For the purposes of efficient collision pairing, the active space is represented as a three dimensional space array of unit sized cells. Molecules can move among cells, but are only eligible for collision with other molecules occupying the ....
