A physical model and a Monte Carlo estimate for the specific intensity spatial derivative, angular derivative and geometric sensitivity

Paule Lapeyre, Zili He, Stéphane Blanco +11

Starting from the radiative transfer equation and its usual boundary conditions, the objective of this work is to design Monte Carlo algorithms estimating the specific intensity sp…

Convergence issues in derivatives of Monte Carlo null-collision integral formulations: a solution

J-M Tregan, S. Blanco, J. Dauchet +5

When a Monte Carlo algorithm is used to evaluate a physical observable A, it is possible to slightly modify the algorithm so that it evaluates simultaneously A and the derivatives…

On the possibility of homogeneous nucleation of water droplets and/or ice crystals during the bounces of a cavitation bubble

Olivier Louisnard, Fabienne Espitalier

Acoustic cavitation is known to trigger ice nucleation in supercooled water. Several competing and still debatable mechanisms have been proposed in the literature and are related t…

A simple model of ultrasound propagation in a cavitating liquid. Part II: Primary Bjerknes force and bubble structures

Olivier Louisnard

In a companion paper, a reduced model for propagation of acoustic waves in a cloud of inertial cavitation bubbles was proposed. The wave attenuation was calculated directly from th…
