An extension of implicit Monte Carlo diffusion: Multigroup and the difference formulation

Abstract: Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) and Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (IMD) are approaches to the numerical solution of the equations of radiative transfer. IMD was previously derived and numerically tested on grey, or frequency-integrated problems [1]. In this research, we extend Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (IMD) to account for frequency dependence, and we implement the difference formulation [2] as a source manipulation variance reduction technique. We derive the relevant probability distributions and present the… Show more

“…Cleveland, Gentile, and Palmer [9] have also recently developed a version of DDMC (which they refer to as Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion) that accounts for frequency dependence. However, our new DDMC method differs from theirs in two important ways.…”

“…HIMCD dynamically applies Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (Gentile, 2001;Cleveland et al, 2010) to regions of a problem that are opaque and diffusive while applying standard Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) (Fleck and Cum mings, 1971) to regions where the diffusion approximation is invalid. Teleportation er ror arises in Monte Carlo simulations when a source is represented with the wrong spatial distribution causing radiation energy to propagate unphysically fast through a material (McKinley et al, 2003).…”

“…Much of this work will build from the large literature base of the IMD and DDMC methods. This includes the previous work on frequency dependent IMD (Cleveland et al, 2010), frequency-dependent Hybrid DDMC (Densmore et al, 2012), and more recent work with regards to HIMCD and Hy brid DDMC with regards to the radiation hydrodynamics equations (Cleveland and Gentile, 2013;Wollaeger et al, 2013).…”
