Neutron transport benchmarks for binary stochastic multiplying media : planar geometry, two energy groups

Creator:: Davis, Ian M. (Ian Mack)
Abstract:: Benchmark calculations are performed for neutron transport in a two material (binary) stochastic multiplying medium. Spatial, angular, and energy dependence are included. The problem considered is based on a fuel assembly of a common pressurized water nuclear reactor. The mean chord length through the assembly is determined and used as...

Two dimensional numerical simulation of a non-isothermal GaAs MESFET

Creator:: Lin, Angela A.
Abstract:: The low thermal conductivity of gallium arsenide compared to silicon results in self-heating effects in GaAs MESFETs that limit the electrical performance of such devices for high power applications. To date, analytical thermal models of self heating in GaAs MESFETs are based on the assumption of a uniformly heated channel....

Monte Carlo device modeling applications on parallel computers

Creator:: Pennathur, Shankar S.
Abstract:: One of the ways of countering the ever increasing computational requirements in the simulation and modeling of electrical and electromagnetic devices and phenomena, is the development of simulation and modeling tools on parallel computing platforms. In this thesis, a previously developed Monte Carlo parallel device simulator is utilized, enhanced, and...

An inherently parallel Monte Carlo linear systems solver applied to neutron diffusion equations

Creator:: Eccleston, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Linear solvers are often used to solve neutron diffusion problems. These tools have two significant shortcomings. First, parallel implementations provide only a modest speedup. The operations cannot be divided cleanly between processors. Second, for large matrices they can be very slow. Our primary goal is to find a new method...

A "mildly inconsistent" method for accelerating upstream corner balance transport

Creator:: Gulick, John C.
Abstract:: A new method for accelerating the Upstream Corner Balance (UCB) discretization of the equation of transfer is introduced. The inconsistent acceleration equations for the UCB discretization are derived by applying the "Modified 4-Step" diffusion synthetic acceleration technique not to the UCB discretization, but instead to the simple corner balance (SCB)...

Hartree-Fock electronic structure calculations forfree atoms and immersed atoms in an electron gas

Creator:: Walsh, Kenneth Charles
Abstract:: Electronic structure calculations for free and immersed atoms are performed in the context of unrestricted Hartree-Fock Theory. Spherical symmetry is broken, lifting de-generacies in electronic conﬁgurations involving the magnetic quantum number m. Basis sets, produced from density functional theory, are then explored for completeness. Com-parison to spectroscopic data is done...

Sub-diffraction light propagation and imaging in planar negative refraction waveguides

Creator:: Wangberg, Robyn
Abstract:: In this dissertation we study the electromagnetic properties of planar waveguides with non-magnetic strongly anisotropic dielectric cores. We develop an analytical description of the mode propagation in these systems and show that the index of refraction can be either positive or negative depending on the specific material parameters. Propagating modes...

Power quality simulator for commercial office buildings

Creator:: Atluri, Prabha Krishna
Abstract:: The distortions of input voltage and current waveforms generated by switch mode power supply (SMPS) operation are a major cause of concern in the power quality performance of commercial office buildings. These distortions are usually evaluated by performing a site survey of the building. In this thesis, a power quality...
