Wave-Scattering processes: path-integrals designed for the numerical handling of complex geometries
Jérémi Dauchet, Julien Charon, Laurent Brunel +10
Relying on Feynman-Kac path-integral methodology, we present a new statistical perspective on wave single-scattering by complex three-dimensional objects. The approach is implement…
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…
Convergence issues in derivatives of Monte Carlo null-collision integral formulations: a solution
J-M Tregan, S. Blanco, J. Dauchet +5
When a Monte Carlo algorithm is used to evaluate a physical observable A, it is possible to slightly modify the algorithm so that it evaluates simultaneously A and the derivatives…
A boundary-based net-exchange Monte Carlo method for absorbing and scattering thick media
V. Eymet, R. Fournier, S. Blanco +1
A boundary-based net-exchange Monte Carlo method was introduced in [1] that allows to bypass the difficulties encountered by standard Monte Carlo algorithms in the limit of optical…
An invariance property of diffusive random walks
Stephane Blanco, Fournier Richard
Starting from a simple animal-biology example, a general, somewhat counter-intuitive property of diffusion random walks is presented. It is shown that for any (non-homogeneous) pur…
