MONTE-CARLO METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF AERO-THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SUPERSONIC AEROSPACE SYSTEMS

Great current scientific and applied value of rarefied gas dynamics is explained by practical importance of the solution of a wide range of tasks connected with the present stage of space exploration, development of vacuum technology. The first application of statistical methods was connected with direct modeling of gas flow and Monte-Carlo direct statistical simulation method appeared to be the most effective in the rarefied gas dynamics
