Direct Sampling of Monte Carlo Flight Paths in Media with Continuously Varying Cross-sections
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new Monte Carlo technique has been developed for the direct sampling of flight paths in media with continuously varying cross-sections. This technique provides an alternative to the use of delta-tracking for problems where the material cross-sections vary over the particle flight paths. The technique is general, and may provide benefits to Monte Carlo calculations of charged particles, atmospheric transport, charge transport in semiconductors, radiative transfer for ICF and astrophysics, and transport through stochastic media.

Monte Carlo Methods for Volumetric Light Transport Simulation
The wide adoption of path-tracing algorithms in high-end realistic rendering has stimulated many diverse research initiatives. In this paper we present a coherent survey of methods that utilize Monte Carlo integration for estimating light transport in scenes containing participating media. Our work complements the volume-rendering state-of-the-art report by Cerezo et al. [CPP∗05]; we review pub...
متن کاملRoughness uncertainty analysis in river flooding using HEC-RAS model
Although flood maps based on the deterministic approach play an important role in minimizing flood losses, there is considerable uncertainty in calculating the level of water inundation. Roughness is a key parameter in water surface elevation. Since roughness is not easily measurable and is estimated based on experimental and laboratory methods, it introduces a significant degree of uncertainty...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Study of the Effect of Backscatter Materail Thickness on 99mTc Source Response in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction SPECT projections are contaminated by scatter radiation, resulting in reduced image contrast and quantitative errors. Backscatter constitutes a major part of the scatter contamination in lower energy windows. The current study is an evaluation of the effect of backscatter material on FWHM and image quality investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. Materials and Methods SIMIND program...
متن کاملImportance Sampling in Lattice PricingModels
Binomial lattice models nd widespread uses in the valuation of derivative nancial instruments. When these instruments are path-dependent (non-Markovian), it is usually necessary to resort to Monte Carlo simulation. However, a crude Monte Carlo sampling of the lattice can be very ineecient since a large number of sample paths may need to be calculated. We develop procedures for sampling the path...
متن کاملExplicit treatment of thermal motion in continuous-energy Monte Carlo tracking routines
This paper introduces a new stochastic method for taking the effect of thermal motion into account on the fly in a Monte Carlo neutron transport calculation. The method is based on explicit treatment of the motion of target nuclei at collision sites and, consequently, requires simply cross sections at a temperature of 0 K regardless of the number of temperatures in the problem geometry. It util...
