There is considerable interest in transport models that will permit the simulation of neutral particle transport through stochastic mixtures. Chord length sampling techniques that simulate particle transport through binary stochastic mixtures consisting of spheres randomly arranged in a matrix have been implemented in several Monte Carlo Codes [1-3]. Though the use of these methods is growing, ...

This article discusses the preliminary implementation of the new explicit temperature treatment method to the development version Monte Carlo reactor physics code Serpent 2 and presents the first practical results calculated using the method. The explicit temperature treatment method, as introduced in [1], is a stochastic method for taking the effect of thermal motion into account on-the-fly in...

This lecture presents the general guidelines we have followed to build up an exhaustive and accurate spectroscopic database for radiative transfer in air and CO2-N2 plasma applications, including atmospheric entries. This High Temperature Gas Radiation (HTGR) database includes bound-bound atomic, diatomic and polyatomic (in particular CO2) transitions, bound-free transitions resulting from vari...
