Abstract
One-dimensional shock wave properties in helium and argon are predicted using Monte Carlo direct simulation. The collision model is based directly on the interatomic potential, taking angular scattering into account. The potential is assumed to be of the Maitland–Smith [n(r)−6] form. The detailed validity of the simulation is studied by comparing the predicted macroscopic and microscopic flow properties in shock waves to a wide range of available data.
