SPARTA

SPARTA is an acronym for Stochastic PArallel Rarefied-gas Time-accurate Analyzer.

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 development has been funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE).

If you use SPARTA results in your published work, please cite the paper(s) listed under 
the Citing SPARTA link of the SPARTA WWW page, and include a pointer to the SPARTA WWW 
Site (http://sparta.sandia.gov):

The Publications link on the SPARTA WWW page lists papers that have cited SPARTA. If your 
paper is not listed there, feel free to send us the info. If the simulations in your paper 
produced cool pictures or animations, we'll be pleased to add them to the Pictures or Movies 
pages of the SPARTA WWW site.
