Application of Advanced Hybrid Transport Methods for Nonproliferation Test Problems

Creator:

Somasundaram, Elanchezhian

Abstract:

The implementation of advanced hybrid (Monte Carlo/Deterministic) transport methods for realistic test problems has been a challenge due to the overhead efforts associated with interfacing a solution generated by a deterministic solver with a Monte Carlo based radiation transport code. In this work, with the help of Transpire, Inc., a...

Radiative heat transfer in combustion applications : parallel efficiencies of two gas models, turbulent radiation interactions in particulate laden flows, and coarse mesh finite difference acceleration for improved temporal accuracy

Creator:

Cleveland, Mathew A.

Abstract:

We investigate several aspects of the numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation in the context of coal combustion: the parallel efficiency of two commonly used opacity models, the sensitivity of turbulent radiation interaction (TRI) effects to the presence of coal particulate, and an improvement of the order of temporal...
