A statistical Monte Carlo method (DSMC) is developed to simulate granular flows occurring in dense planetary rings. The accuracy of the method is assessed through a comparison with existing molecular dynamics simulations of the vertical structure of planetary rings with and without self-gravity effects.
Key words: planets: rings
