近年来，新型高超声速飞行器不断涌现，飞行高度突破了传统航空领域的范围，空天一体化趋势明显。跨流域飞行带来的稀薄气体效应不可忽略，对于这类多尺度流场的模拟和气动特性分析，单一尺度的计算方法，如基于NS方程的计算流体力学（CFD）和基于分子的直接模拟蒙特卡洛（DSMC）方法，均不能同时满足精度和效率的要求。课题组与合作者发展了耦合分子运动和碰撞的统一随机粒子（USP）方法[1, 2]，如图1所示，突破了传统粒子方法的时空步长限制，将粒子方法在近连续流域的计算效率提高了几个数量级，并发布了基于USP方法的开源求解器SPARTACUS[3]，可高效模拟三维高超声速跨流域流动, 如图2所示。我们已应用SPARTACUS软件成功模拟了多种高速气体流动，包括多原子气体分子的内能激发等效应[4]。
