Quiet direct simulation of Eulerian fluids.
The direct simulation Monte Carlo method of modeling fluids requires sampling one or more random variables every time step for each particle. In this paper a "quiet Monte Carlo" technique is proposed that eliminates the random sampling and the noise it produces by deterministically generating a small number of computational particles. The technique is applied to particle equations of motion appropriate for modeling an Eulerian fluid. Results indicate that strong one- and two-dimensional shocks with large dynamic ranges are accurately represented with only a few particles per cell.
