Optimization of Monte Carlo Transport Simulations in Stochastic Media
This paper presents an accurate and efficient approach to optimize radiation transport simulations in a stochastic medium of high heterogeneity, like the Very High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (VHTR) configurations packed with TRISO fuel particles. Based on a fast nearest neighbor search algorithm, a modified fast Random Sequential Addition (RSA) method is first developed to speed up the gene...
متن کاملX-ray microanalysis of porous materials using Monte Carlo simulations.
Quantitative X-ray microanalysis models, such as ZAF or φ(ρz) methods, are normally based on solid, flat-polished specimens. This limits their use in various domains where porous materials are studied, such as powder metallurgy, catalysts, foams, etc. Previous experimental studies have shown that an increase in porosity leads to a deficit in X-ray emission for various materials, such as graphit...
متن کاملOn importance sampling Monte Carlo approach to uncertainty analysis for flow and transport in porous media
In this study we introduce a new approach named importance sampling or quick simulations. The method has been extensively used in communication theory in estimating probability of rare events. The basic idea behind importance sampling techniques is that certain values of the input random variables (or vectors) have more important impact on the parameters being estimated than others, and if thes...
متن کاملUncertainty Quantification for Porous Media Flow Using Multilevel Monte Carlo
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) for porous media flow is of great importance for many societal, environmental and industrial problems. An obstacle to the progress in solving such problems, as well as in solving other stochastic PDEs, SPDEs, is the extreme computational effort needed for solving realistic problems. It is expected that the computers will open the door for a significant progress i...
متن کاملMonte Carlo and analytic simulations in nanoparticle-enhanced radiation therapy
Analytical and Monte Carlo simulations have been used to predict dose enhancement factors in nanoparticle-enhanced X-ray radiation therapy. Both simulations predict an increase in dose enhancement in the presence of nanoparticles, but the two methods predict different levels of enhancement over the studied energy, nanoparticle materials, and concentration regime for several reasons. The Monte C...
