We address direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) implementation of phenomenological models of the rotational relaxation process suitable for an arbitrary gas mixture composed of atomic and quantized diatomic species. The macroscopic relaxation process is parametrized by a constant or temperature-dependent collision number Zr such as that of Parker [Phys. Fluids 2, 449 (1959)]. The energy redistribution properties predicted by such a model at the collision level are compared with a recent quasiclassical state-to-state model. Modified forms of the constant collision number, and thus constant relaxation probability, serial quantized Borgnakke–Larsen algorithm [Phys. Fluids A 5, 2278 (1993)] and the null collision SICS-D algorithm [Phys. Fluids A 4, 1782 (1992)] are shown to be equivalent. The generalization to an energy-dependent relaxation probability [Phys. Fluids 6, 4042 (1994)] leads to a systematic bias toward delayed relaxation, due to approximations inherent in the analytical formulation. The error ind...
