Abstract

We present the bidimensional version of a Monte-Carlo programme using the direct simulation method worked out by G.A. Bird (University of Sydney, Australia), which describes molecular or transition flows in a way consistent with Boltzmann's equation. A brief description of the method is given in the first part of the present paper. The second part is devoted to supersonic jets through skimmers.
