Abstract

Generating two-dimensional Maxwell distribution using Monte Carlo method has already been presented in some numeric textbooks.Putting three-dimensional spherical surface random vectors in the process that representing the collision between molecules three-dimensional Maxwell distribution can thus form.The corresponding code is in MATLAB language and the comparison between the numerical result and the theoretical expectation is made.
