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…
Are General Circulation Models obsolete?
V. Balaji, Fleur Couvreux, Julie Deshayes +3
Traditional general circulation models, or GCMs -- i.e. 3D dynamical models with unresolved terms represented in equations with tunable parameters -- have been a mainstay of climat…
Traveling pulse emerges from individuals coordinating their stop-and-go motion: a case study in sheep
Manon Azaïs, Stéphane Blanco, Richard Bon +3
Monitoring small groups of sheep in spontaneous evolution in the field, we decipher behavioural rules that sheep follow at the individual scale in order to sustain collective motio…
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…
