SPARTA is a parallel DSMC code for performing simulations of low-density gases
|
|
in 2D or 3D. Particles advect through a hierarchical Cartesian grid that
|
|
overlays the simulation box. The grid is used to group particles by grid cell
|
|
for purposes of performing collisions and chemistry. Physical objects with
|
|
triangulated surfaces can be embedded in the grid, creating cut and split grid
|
|
cells. The grid is also used to efficiently find particle/surface collisions.
|
|
|
|
SPARTA runs on single processors or in parallel using message-passing techniques
|
|
and a spatial-decomposition of the simulation domain. The code is designed to be
|
|
easy to modify or extend with new functionality.
|
|
|
|
SPARTA was developed at Sandia National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy
|
|
(DOE) laboratory.
