2nd Edition
by Alireza Haghighat (Author)
Fully updated with the latest developments in the eigenvalue Monte
Carlo calculations and automatic variance reduction techniques and
containing an entirely new chapter on fission matrix and alternative
hybrid techniques. This second edition explores the uses of the Monte
Carlo method for real-world applications, explaining its concepts and
limitations. Featuring illustrative examples, mathematical derivations,
computer algorithms, and homework problems, it is an ideal textbook and
practical guide for nuclear engineers and scientists looking into the
applications of the Monte Carlo method, in addition to students in
physics and engineering, and those engaged in the advancement of the
Monte Carlo methods.
- Describes general and particle-transport-specific automated variance reduction techniques
- Presents Monte Carlo particle transport eigenvalue issues and methodologies to address these issues
- Presents
detailed derivation of existing and advanced formulations and
algorithms with real-world examples from the author’s research
activities
