Adjoint-based deviational Monte Carlo methods for phonon transport calculations
In the field of linear transport, adjoint formulations exploit linearity to derive powerful reciprocity relations between a variety of quantities of interest. In this paper, we develop an adjoint formulation of the linearized Boltzmann transport equation for phonon transport. We use this formulation for accelerating deviational Monte Carlo simulations of complex, multiscale problems. Benefits i...
متن کاملNeutron Transport Calculations Using Monte-Carlo Methods
Fusion reactions from direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) release large amounts of stored nuclear energy. Most of it is given off as energetic neutrons. Plastic scintillators are used as detectors for these neutrons. The neutrons that interact with the scintillator produce photons that are recorded using a photomultiplier tube on a f...
متن کاملLow-variance deviational simulation Monte Carlo
We present and discuss a particle simulation method for solving the Boltzmann equation which incorporates the variance reduction ideas presented in L. L. Baker and N. G. Hadjiconstantinou Physics of Fluids 17, 051703 2005 . The variance reduction, achieved by simulating only the deviation from equilibrium, results in a significant computational efficiency advantage for low speed flows compared ...
متن کاملDeviational particle Monte Carlo for the Boltzmann equation
The paper describes the deviational particle Monte Carlo method for the Boltzmann equation. The approach is an application of the general “control variates” variance reduction technique to the problem of solving a nonlinear equation. The deviation of the solution from a reference Maxwellian is approximated by a system of positive and negative particles. Previous results from the literature are ...
متن کاملRevised methods for Adjoint Calculations
A common class of shielding problems involves the calculation of biological dose rates from large distributed sources at localised positions. A typical example is that of calculating the dose at points around a transport cask. Sophisticated variance reduction methods must be used in Monte Carlo calculations to sample from the important parts of the source and to propagate particles towards the ...
