Kinetic-diffusion asymptotic-preserving Monte Carlo algorithm for Boltzmann-BGK in the diffusive scaling
Bert Mortier, Martine Baelmans, Giovanni Samaey
We develop a novel Monte Carlo strategy for the simulation of the Boltzmann-BGK model with both low-collisional and high-collisional regimes present. The presented solution to main…
A comparison of source term estimators in coupled finite-volume/Monte-Carlo methods with applications to plasma edge simulations in nuclear fusion
Bert Mortier, Martine Baelmans, Giovanni Samaey
In many applications, such as plasma edge simulation of a nuclear fusion reactor, a coupled PDE/kinetic description is required, which is usually solved with a coupled finite-volum…
An adjoint optimization approach for the topological design of large-scale district heating networks based on nonlinear models
Maarten Blommaert, Yannick Wack, Martine Baelmans
This article deals with the problem of finding the best topology, pipe diameter choices, and operation parameters for realistic district heating networks. Present design tools that…
