Computational Study of the Effect of Interparticle Contact in Conductive Properties of Random Particulate Systems
… system is computationally investigated using the Monte Carlo scheme and finite element method. A cubic system consisting of randomly-dispersed, equal-sized, deformable ellipsoids are modeled in this study. The steady-state conduction analysis along with a finite element analysis are performed to …

Experimental and numerical investigation of phonon mean free path distribution
… relation, we present a variance reduced Monte Carlo scheme to solve the full Boltzmann transport equation and compare the simulation results with experimental data on silicon.

Quantifying high-resolution hydrologic parameters at the basin scale using InSAR and inverse modeling, Las Vegas Valley, NV
… Evolution Adaptive Metropolis Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme (DREAM MCMC). Chapter 4 outlines a fine-scale numerical model capable of capturing far more hydrologic detail than any previously developed model of Las Vegas Valley The new model is calibrated using high-resolution InSAR data and …

Computational Studies on the Effective Properties of Two-Phase Heterogeneous Media
… system are investigated computationally using a Monte Carlo scheme. The continuum contains circular, spherical or ellipsoidal inclusions that are either uniformly or randomly embedded in the matrix. The computed results are compared to the applicable effective medium theories. It is found that …

Computationally Efficient Modeling of Transient Radiation in a Purely Scattering Foam Layer
… methods have been investigated. First, a reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation has been developed. In the RMC simulation photon bundles are traced backwards from a detector to the source where they were emitted. The RMC method takes advantage of time reflection symmetry, allowing the photons to be …

Acceleration methods for Monte Carlo particle transport simulations
… and detailed results from reactor analysis. Monte Carlo (MC) eigenvalue neutron transport methods are uniquely qualified to provide these results, due to their accurate treatment of space, angle, and energy dependencies of neutron distributions. Monte Carlo eigenvalue simulations are, …

Computational Studies of the Mechanical Response of Nano-Structured Materials
… placement concentrations of silver atoms. A Monte Carlo scheme is used to study the degree of surface segregation after equilibration in a mixed lattice. Dislocation behavior and deformation response for all samples in compression and tension are studied, and yield response specifically is …
