Since its initial development as a specialty technique for modeling neutron transport in fissile
materials almost 80 years ago, the Monte Carlo method has since been deployed in almost …

A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device that directly converts thermal energy into
electrical energy. In practical engineering, the internal material parameters of TEG, such as …

Modeling thermal radiation in combustion environments can be extremely challenging for
two main reasons. First, the radiative transfer equation (RTE), which is the cornerstone of …

Ultrafine and highly light absorbing soot particles have been known to be harmful to human
health and a major climate forcer. Understanding the mechanisms of soot formation and …

Radiative heat transfer (RHT) is often the dominant mode of heat transfer in flames, fires,
and combustion systems and affects significantly temperature distributions directly and …

During the road transportation of hazardous chemicals, vehicles are often parked in
constrained areas. Two main parking strategies have been employed: random and …

The effect of aerosol particles in the atmospheric radiative transfer has great uncertainty. A
computer code for accurate calculation of the optical properties and vector radiative transfer …

In engineering practice, the parameters affecting the output of a photovoltaic cell such as its
irradiation intensity, surface temperature, current temperature coefficient, series resistance …

The uncertainty of photovoltaic module material parameters have a great impact on the
overall output performance of photovoltaic cells. Ignoring the uncertainty of these …

In this work we investigate replacing standard quadrature techniques used in deterministic
linear solvers with a fixed-seed Quasi–Monte Carlo (QMC) calculation to obtain more …
