  • An assessment of a mesh-based method for slab-geometry transport in stochastic materials

    Creator:
    Bassett, Brody R.
    Abstract:
    There exists a variety of methods to solve the radiation transport equation in stochastic materials, including the Levermore-Pomraning method and the atomic mix method, each of which is designed to replicate the results given by benchmarks with materials rearranged in a randomized fashion. While the atomic mix method is very...

  • Performance of hybrid methods for representative nonproliferationproblems

    Creator:
    Bevill, Aaron M.
    Abstract:
    Adjoint-derived weight windowing is a hybrid deterministic/Monte Carlo method to simulate radiation transport. In adjoint-derived weight windowing, a deterministic adjoint solution is used to create weight windows for a Monte Carlo simulation. The intent of this work is to identify factors that reduce the Figure of Merit (FOM) of Monte...
