Modified spherical harmonics method for solving the radiative transport equation
A new effective approach to solving the three-dimensional radiative transport equation with an arbitrary phase function is proposed. The solution depends on eigenvectors and eigenvalues of several symmetrical tridiagonal matrices of infinite size. The matrices must be truncated and diagonalized numerically. Then, given eigenvectors and eigenvalues of these matrices, the dependence of the soluti...
متن کاملA probability-conserving cross-section biasing mechanism for variance reduction in Monte Carlo particle transport calculations
In Monte Carlo particle transport codes, it is often important to adjust reaction cross sections to reduce the variance of calculations of relatively rare events, in a technique known as non-analogous Monte Carlo. We present the theory and sample code for a Geant4 process which allows the cross section of a G4VDiscreteProcess to be scaled, while adjusting track weights so as to mitigate the eff...
متن کاملStochastic particle methods for Smoluchowski coagulation equation: variance reduction and error estimations
Stochastic particle methods for the coagulation-fragmentation Smoluchowski equation are developed and a general variance reduction technique is suggested. This method generalizes the massow approach due to H. Babovsky, and has in focus the desired band of the size spectrum. Estimations of the variance and bias of the method are derived. A comparative cost and variance analysis is made for the k...
متن کاملLow Variance Particle Simulations of the Boltzmann Transport Equation for the Variable Hard Sphere Collision Model
We present and validate a variance reduced deviational particle method for simulating the Boltzmann transport equation for the variable hard sphere (VHS) collision operator. In comparison with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, the proposed method is more suitable for simulating transport in regimes where the departure from equilibrium is small, such as dilute gas flows in small-s...
متن کاملLeast-Squares Finite Element Discretization of the Neutron Transport Equation in Spherical Geometry
The main focus of this paper is the numerical solution of the Boltzmann transport equation for neutral particles through mixed material media in a spherically symmetric geometry. Standard solution strategies, like the Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM), may lead to nonphysical approximate solutions. In particular, a point source at the center of the sphere yields undesirable ray effects. Posing th...
