Spectral Analysis of Stochastic Noise in Fission Source Distributions from Monte Carlo Eigenvalue Calculations
In this paper a new analysis of the characteristics and propagation of random fluctuations in Monte Carlo (MC) eigenvalue calculations is presented. In particular, random fluctuations in the fission source distribution produced from a fixed set of initial neutron source locations are considered. Unlike previous analyses, this work relies on spectral theory to analyze a general class of MC eigen...
متن کاملConvergence Testing for Mcnp5 Monte Carlo Eigenvalue Calculations
Determining convergence of Monte Carlo criticality problems is complicated by the statistical noise inherent in the random walks of the neutrons in each generation. The latest version of MCNP5 incorporates an important new tool for assessing convergence: the Shannon entropy of the fission source distribution, Hsrc. Shannon entropy is a well-known concept from information theory and provides a s...
متن کاملWielandt Acceleration for Mcnp5 Monte Carlo Eigenvalue Calculations
Monte Carlo criticality calculations use the power iteration method to determine the eigenvalue (keff) and eigenfunction (fission source distribution) of the fundamental mode. A recently proposed method for accelerating convergence of the Monte Carlo power iteration using Wielandt’s method has been implemented in a test version of MCNP5. The method is shown to provide dramatic improvements in c...
متن کاملParallel Fission Bank Algorithms in Monte Carlo Criticality Calculations
In this work, we describe a new method for parallelizing the source iterations in a Monte Carlo criticality calculation. Instead of having one global fission bank that needs to be synchronized as is traditionally done, our method has each processor keep track of a local fission bank while still preserving reproducibility. In doing so, it is required to send only a limited set of fission bank si...
متن کاملMaximum probability domains from Quantum Monte Carlo calculations
Although it would be tempting to associate the Lewis structures to the maxima of the squared wave function |Psi|2, we prefer in this paper the use of domains of the three-dimensional space, which maximize the probability of containing opposite-spin electron pairs. We find for simple systems (CH4, H2O, Ne, N2, C2H2) domains comparable to those obtained with the electron localization function (EL...
