The velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in an argon normal shock wave of upstream Mach number 7.8 and temperature 16K are calculated using the null-collision direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential is employed as a realistic intermolecular potential, where the deflection angle for molecular collisions is calculated by an accurate quadrature scheme. Some comparisons between the VDFs of the LJ potential, Maxwell molecule, and Maitland-Smith potential are made.
