Common misconceptions in Monte Carlo particle transport.
Monte Carlo particle transport is often introduced primarily as a method to solve linear integral equations such as the Boltzmann transport equation. This paper discusses some common misconceptions about Monte Carlo methods that are often associated with an equation-based focus. Many of the misconceptions apply directly to standard Monte Carlo codes such as MCNP and some are worth noting so tha...
متن کاملRandomly Dispersed Particle Fuel Model in the Psg Monte Carlo Neutron Transport Code
High-temperature gas-cooled reactor fuels are composed of thousands of microscopic fuel particles, randomly dispersed in a graphite matrix. The modelling of such geometry is complicated, especially using continuous-energy Monte Carlo codes, which are unable to apply any deterministic corrections in the calculation. This paper presents the geometry routine developed for modelling randomly disper...
متن کاملLimitations in the PHOTON Monte Carlo gamma transport code
Three Monte Carlo gamma transport codes, MCNP, EGS, PHOTON, differ in the degree of difficulty in implementing them for calculation and in the requirements for the input file. Differences in the results were discovered when evaluating the same case using these three transport codes. These differences that are energy dependent are presented here. r 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. PHOTON ...
متن کاملDevelopment of General-Purpose Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Monte Carlo Code
The high-energy particle transport code NMTC/JAM, which has been developed at JAERI, was improved for the high-energy heavy ion transport calculation by incorporating the JQMD code, the SPAR code and the Shen formula. The new NMTC/JAM named PHITS (Particle and Heavy-Ion Transport code System) is the first general-purpose heavy ion transport Monte Carlo code over the incident energies from sever...
متن کاملParallelization of the Penelope Monte Carlo Particle Transport Simulation Package
We have parallelized the PENELOPE Monte Carlo particle transport simulation package [1]. The motivation is to increase efficiency of Monte Carlo simulations for medical applications. Our parallelization is based on the standard MPI message passing interface. The parallel code is especially suitable for a distributed memory environment, and has been run on up to 256 processors on the Indiana Uni...
