In the following chapters we will discuss particle methods for the numerical simulation of rarefied gas flows.We will mainly treat a billiard game, that is, our particles will be hard spheres. But we will also touch upon cases where particles have internal energies due to rotation or vibration, which they exchange in a collision, and we will talk about chemical reactions happening during a collision.Due to the limited size of this paper, we are only able to mention the principles of these real-gas effects. On the other hand, the general concepts of particle methods to be presented may be used for other kinds of kinetic equations, such as the semiconductor device simulation. We leave this part of the research to subsequent papers.

Abstract. Meshes are commonly used as part of instruments for in situ atmospheric measurements. This study analyses the aerodynamic effect of meshes by means of wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations. Based on the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method, a simple mesh parameterisation is described and applied to a number of representative flow conditions. For open meshes freely exposed to the flow, substantial compression effects are found both upstream and downstream of the mesh. Meshes attached to close instrument structures, on the other hand, cause only minor flow disturbances. In an accompanying paper, the approach developed here is applied to the quantitative analysis of rocket-borne density measurements in the middle atmosphere.Key words. Atmospheric composition and structure (instruments and techniques; middle atmosphere – composition and chemistry)
