How I Broke Direct Simulation Monte Carlo

For over 50 years Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) has been the dominant molecular algorithm for modeling dilute gas flow. Originally developed for aerospace engineering, its applications now range from nanofluidics to planetary weather. The capabilities of the method have also expanded to include the simulation of realistic chemistry, dense gases and granular flows. DSMC has a very successful track-record due to its strong foundation in kinetic theory and stochastic processes.
