Abstract
The purpose of this talk is to give a comparative discussion of some simulation procedures for the Boltzmann equation in terms of rigour and numerical effort. The methods under consideration are the algorithms suggested by Bird [7] and Nanbu [9] respectively, and a modification o f the Nanbu procedure suggested by Babovsky [2]. The procedures are applied to and compared by means of a shock wave problem.Keywords
