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…
Path-tracing Monte Carlo Library for 3D Radiative Transfer in Highly Resolved Cloudy Atmospheres
Najda Villefranque, Fleur Couvreux, Richard Fournier +5
Interactions between clouds and radiation are at the root of many difficulties in numerically predicting future weather and climate and in retrieving the state of the atmosphere fr…
