Optimizing the concentration ratio of multi-faceted focusing heliostats
F. Henault
This technical note aims at optimizing the concentration ratio of multi-faceted focusing heliostats implemented into a solar tower power plant. The ideal shape of a heliostat locat…
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…
Temperature dependence of the static permittivity andintegral formula for the Kirkwood correlation factor ofsimple polar fluids
Pierre-Michel Déjardin, Florian Pabst, Yann Cornaton +4
An exact integral formula for the Kirkwood correlation factor of isotropic polar fluids is derived from the equilibrium averaged rotational Dean equation, which as compared t…
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…
