dsmcFoam+
The original dsmcFoam+ code, that is referred to as dsmcFoam+ MNF, is available on the MicroNanoFlows Github page. The modified version featured on hyStrath branched out in December 2015 with the new features being as follows
CODE STRUCTURE / IMPROVEMENTS
- improved load balancing feature
- improved axially-symmetric capability
- wall boundary condition classes rewritten
- QK reaction classes rewritten
- corrections made to the calculation of macroscopic properties
THERMAL NON-EQUILIBRIUM
- new model for vibrational energy redistribution: constant vibrational collision number
POROUS MEDIA
- new wall boundary conditions to model absorption & adsorption/desorption mechanisms
- measurement of the mean squared displacement (thus effective diffusivity) and particle transit time
MISCELLANEOUS
- capability to run steady normal shock wave computations
- layer functions for the strongly-coupled hybrid CFD-DSMC code hyperFoam
ONGOING OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
- adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)
- variable time-step method
- modelling of free-electrons
- extension of the QK reaction classes to Martian entry problems
