Description

We previously presented a new test-particle Monte Carlo method (which we call PTMC), an iterative method to solve Boltzmann equation, first described by Haviland and Kogan and is now improved and very well-suited to the collisional steady gas flows. In this paper, we introduce a statistical method, published by Anderson to treat electronic-translational energy transfer by a collisional process and we apply it to atomic uranium vapor, which has multiple electronic energy states.
