We consider biased diffusion in a one-dimensional lattice and compare results obtained with fixed time step and kinetic Monte Carlo methods. Spurious dispersion and particle position correlation appear with the fixed time step Monte Carlo approach. The mentioned correlation increases with time. We d

A time series approach has been applied to the nuclear fission source distribution generated by Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport in order to calculate the non-fundamental mode eigenvalues of the system. The novel aspect is the combination of the general technical principle of projection pursuit f
A boundary-based net-exchange Monte Carlo method was introduced (JQSRT 74 (2001) 563) that allows to bypass the difficulties encountered by standard Monte Carlo algorithms in the limit of optically thick absorption (and/or for quasi-isothermal configurations). With the present paper, this method is
An ecient method for calculating the transient response of Timoshenko and Mindlin type structures is to use explicit time integration combined with increased rotatory inertia. Numerical stability analysis shows that time step variations are important in determining how much to increase the inertia.
