A number of different gas density simulation programs have been applied in the design of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s LCLS-II accelerator’s vacuum system. Starting from these basic programs, this talk gives an overview of the available numerical methods for the analysis and design of a linear accelerator vacuum system.

Programs like Pressure5, LTspice, Vaccalc, Molflow+ and others are described and compared. Their optimal domain of applicability, the pros and cons are discussed.
