Hybrid Delta Tracking Schemes Using a Track-Length Estimator

Joanna Piper Morgan, Ilham Variansyah, Kayla B. Clements +2

In Monte Carlo radiation transport calculations, Woodcock-delta tracking is a common alternative to the more popular surface tracking technique. In this work we introduce a delta-t…

Interplay of Variance Reduction and Population Control in Monte Carlo Neutron Transport

Jordan Northrop, Ilham Variansyah, Todd Palmer +1

Monte Carlo methods are widely used for neutron transport simulations at least partly because of the accuracy they bring to the modeling of these problems. However, the computation…

One-Cell Inversion for Solving Higher-Order Time-Dependent Radiation Transport on GPUs

Joanna Piper Morgan, Ilham Variansyah, Todd S. Palmer +1

To find deterministic solutions to the transient discrete-ordinates neutron-transport equation, source iterations (SI) are typically used to lag the scattering (and fission) source…
