Abstract

This paper presents the studies on the variation of shape and thickness of a normal shock wave with Mach number and density by using the most useful numerical technique in rarefied gas regime, DSMC(Direct Simulation Monte Carlo). Calculations are peformed for the three different Mach numbers and for one Mach number with different densities. From the obtained results, we find that the shock thickness is decreasing with increasing Mach number, and there are much variations in thickness and shape with decreasing density. Also, there is a noticeable overshoot of the translational temperature near the shock center in the case of a large Mach number.
