Progress in Probabilistic Modelling of Atomic Spontaneous Emission Processes in DSMC
Abstract
Some of the major shortcomings of current radiation modeling are discussed and DSMC as a potential long term solution is proposed. Recent developments in DSMC based flow and radiation modeling are briefly introduced and evaluated with respect to typical DSMC criticisms. It is concluded that DSMC can have a significant impact on radiation research in the field of high enthalpy (re-)entry flows even at lower altitudes. Essential element will be the successful reduction of noise in the radiation signal.
