Abstract
The variable sphere (VS) molecular model for the inverse power law (IPL) potential is combined with the statistical inelastic cross section (SICS) and Borgnakke-Larsen (BL) models and the transport coefficients are estimated using the Monte Carlo integration technique for Wang-Chang-Uhlenbeck (WCU) theory. The VS model with SICS (VS-SICS) and BL (VS-BL) models are applied to the simulation of the normal shock wave structure in a nitrogen gas using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, and then compared with the results of VSS model combined with the SICS model (VSS-SICS) and BL model (VSS-BL). Structures of number density, rotational temperature profiles, and rotational energy distribution in the VS-SICS and VS-BL models shock wave agree well with those of the VSS-SICS and VSS-BL models. The VS model demonstrated applicability to the inelastic molecular collision model.
