Branching Paths Statistics for confined Flows : Adressing Navier-Stokes Nonlinear Transport
Daniel Yaacoub, Stéphane Blanco, Richard Fournier +4
Recent advances have allowed to tackle exact path-space probabilistic representations of macroscopic advection-diffusion models involving advection nonlinearities by step forward a…
Nonlinear Drift in Feynman-Kac Theory: Preserving Early Probabilistic Insights
Daniel Yaacoub, Stéphane Blanco, Jean-François Cornet +3
In 1905, Einstein's theory of Brownian motion supported the molecular basis of the diffusion equation and introduced two complementary viewpoints: a deterministic field description…
Wave-Scattering processes: path-integrals designed for the numerical handling of complex geometries
Jérémi Dauchet, Julien Charon, Laurent Brunel +10
Relying on Feynman-Kac path-integral methodology, we present a new statistical perspective on wave single-scattering by complex three-dimensional objects. The approach is implement…
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…
The "teapot in a city": a paradigm shift in urban climate modeling
Najda Villefranque, Frédéric Hourdin, Louis d'Alençon +12
Urban areas are a high-stake target of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. To understand, predict and improve the energy performance of cities, the scientific commun…
Spectral radiative analysis of bio-inspired H2 production in a benchmark photoreactor: a first investigation using spatial photonic balance
Caroline Supplis, Fabrice Gros, Ghiles Dahi +4
The iron thiolate complex is a simplified model of the active site of diiron hydrogenase enzymes. Here, we describe the implementation of this noble metal free catalyst in aqueous…
Radiative transfer approach using Monte Carlo Method for actinometry in complex geometry and its application to Reinecke salt photodissociation within innovative pilot-scale photo(bio)reactors
Vincent Rochatte, Ghiles Dahi, Azin Eskandari +4
In this article, a complete radiative transfer approach for estimating incident photon flux density by actinometry is presented that opens the door to investigation of large-scale…
A novel experimental bench dedicated to the accurate radiative analysis of photoreactors: the case study of CdS catalyzed hydrogen production from sacrificial donors
Ghiles Dahi, Azin Eskandari, Jérémi Dauchet +3
This article is dedicated to the presentation of a novel experimental bench designed to study the photoproduction of H2. It is composed of three main parts: a light source, a fully…
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…
Addressing the gas kinetics Boltzmann equation with branching-path statistics
Guillaume Terrée, Mouna El Hafi, Stéphane Blanco +3
This article proposes a new statistical numerical method to address gas kinetics problems obeying the Boltzmann equation. This method is inspired from some Monte-Carlo algorithms u…
Addressing nonlinearities in Monte Carlo
Jérémi Dauchet, Jean-Jacques Bezian, Stéphane Blanco +16
Monte Carlo is famous for accepting model extensions and model refinements up to infinite dimension. However, this powerful incremental design is based on a premise which has sever…
Enhanced diffusion due to active swimmers at a solid surface
Gaston Miño, Thomas E. Mallouk, Thierry Darnige +7
We consider two systems of active swimmers moving close to a solid surface, one being a living population of wild-type \textit{E. coli} and the other being an assembly of self-prop…
