We present a new Monte Carlo method for obtaining solutions of the Boltzmann equation for describing phonon transport in micro and nanoscale devices. The proposed method can resolve arbitrarily small signals (e.g. temperature differences)…
This study develops a novel multiscale computational method for heat conduction problems of composite structures with diverse periodic configurations in different subdomains. Firstly, the second-order two-scale (SOTS) solutions for these…
We have developed a Monte Carlo simulation for ion transport in hot background gases, which is an alternative way of solving the corresponding Boltzmann equation that determines the distribution function of ions. We consider the limit of…
We have coded a Boltzmann solver based on a finite difference scheme (S_N method) aiming at calculations of neutrino transport in type II supernovae. Close comparison between the Boltzmann solver and a Monte Carlo transport code has been…
Traditional Monte Carlo methods for particle transport utilize source iteration to express the solution, the flux density, of the transport equation as a Neumann series. Our contribution is to show that the particle paths simulated within…
Materials that possess low density, low thermal conductivity, and high stiffness are desirable for engineering applications, but most materials cannot realize these properties simultaneously due to the coupling between them. Nanotrusses,…
An open source software package for simulating thermal neutron propagation in geometry is presented. In this system, neutron propagation can be treated by either the particle transport method or the ray-tracing method. Supported by an…
Starting from the recently proposed energy-based deviational formulation for solving the Boltzmann equation [J.-P. Peraud and N. G. Hadjiconstantinou, Phys. Rev. B 84, 2011], which provides significant computational speedup compared to…
In this book chapter we provide the definition of "Simulating Nanoscale Heat Transport", broadly regarded as modeling heat conduction beyond Fourier's law. We primarely focus on incoherent transport, which is dominated by scattering between…
MCBTE solves the linearized Boltzmann transport equation for phonons in three dimensions using a variance-reduced Monte Carlo solution approach. The algorithm is suited for both transient and steady-state analysis of thermal transport in…
This paper continues our treatment of the Neutron Transport Equation (NTE) building on the work in [arXiv:1809.00827v2], [arXiv:1810.01779v4] and [arXiv:1901.00220v3], which describes the flux of neutrons through inhomogeneous fissile…
Different techniques of event biasing have been implemented in the particle-based Monte Carlo simulations of a 15nm n-channel MOSFET. The primary goal is to achieve enhancement in the channel statistics and faster convergence in the…
This paper presents an efficient parallel method for the deterministic solution of the 3D stationary Boltzmann transport equation applied to diffusive problems such as nuclear core criticality computations. Based on standard…
We test approximate approaches to solving a neutrino transport problem that presents itself in the analysis of some accretion-disk models. Approximation #1 consists of replacing the full, angular- dependent, distribution function by a…
For a number of applications like low-source reactor start-up or neutron coincidence counting it is necessary to take into account the stochastic nature of neutron transport and go beyond the average neutron density, which is solution of a…
We introduce the Quantization Monte Carlo method to solve thermal radiative transport equations with possibly several collision regimes, ranging from few collisions to massive number of collisions per time unit. For each particle in a given…
