The Method of Simultaneous Solutions Applied to Neutron Transport and Heat Conduction
Dean Price, Brian Kiedrowski, Benoit Forget
This paper provides an initial description of the Method of Simultaneous Solutions, a Monte Carlo approach that simultaneously solves multiple Boltzmann-transport-like phenomena. H…
Tensorized Discontinuous Isogeometric Analysis Method for the 2-D Time-Independent Linearized Boltzmann Transport Equation
Patrick A. Myers, Joseph A. Bogdan, Majdi I. Radaideh +1
We present the novel Tensorized Discontinuous Isogeometric Analysis (TDIGA) method applied to the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) time-independent 2-D linearized Boltzmann transport eq…
Uncertainty quantification of optical models in fission fragment de-excitation
Kyle A. Beyer, Amy E. Lovell, Cole D. Pruitt +2
We take the first step towards incorporating compound nuclear observables at astrophysically relevant energies into the experimental evidence used to constrain optical models, by p…
Transit-Length Distribution for Particle Transport in Binary Markovian Mixed Media
Brian C. Kiedrowski, Emily H. Vu
The correspondence between the telegraph random process and transport within a binary stochastic Markovian mixture is established. This equivalence is used to derive the distributi…
Monte Carlo Sensitivity Coefficients and Analytical Benchmarks for Unresolved Resonance Probability Tables
Brian C. Kiedrowski
The Monte Carlo differential operator sampling method is applied to the computation of sensitivity coefficients of unresolved resonance probability table cross sections. Three new…
