Abstract

Exact relationship is developed that connects the vibrational relaxation number, Z_v^DSMC, used in the direct simulation Monte Carlo method and that employed in continuum simulations. An approximate expression for Z_v^DSMC is also derived that is cost-effective and applicable when translational temperature is larger than vibrational temperature.
