Monte Carlo Simulations for a Soft Sphere Fluid

Creator:

Kreitzberg, Patrick

Abstract:

In this paper I present the results of Monte Carlo simulations for a soft sphere fluid with a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) pair potential. The results are compared to Soft Fundamental Measure Theory (SFMT) results obtained by our research group. One of the research group’s goals was to show that our SFMT...

Undergraduate Thesis
Framework for Computational Modelling of Cellular Diffusion Systems

Creator:

Senger, Mitchell John

Abstract:

Many biological processes are regulated by the presence and movement of cellular Ca²⁺ ions. The concentration of Ca²⁺ in a cellular environment is regulated by IP₃ sensitive channels that lie on the surface of a cell’s endoplasmic reticulum. Little is known about the macroscopic effects of intracellular Ca²⁺ activity, so...

Design of an Optical Medium for the Simulation of Neutron Transport in Reactor Component Materials

Creator:

Konyndyk, David M.

Abstract:

The scattering of optical rays by small spherical particles bears a strong resemblance to the diffusion of fission neutrons in solid materials. This work explores the feasibility of exploiting similarities between these two systems for the purposes of reactor component analysis, education, and outreach. After a brief overview of reactor-environment...
