With ever-advancing computer technology, the Monte Carlo (MC) neutron transport calculation is expanding its application area to nuclear reactor transient analysis. Dynamic MC (DMC) neutron tracking for transient analysis requires efficient algorithms for delayed neutron generation, neutron population control, and initial condition modeling. In this paper, a new MC steady-state simulation method based on time-dependent MC neutron tracking is proposed for steady-state initial condition modeling; during this process, prompt neutron sources and delayed neutron precursors for the DMC transient simulation can easily be sampled. The DMC method, including the proposed time-dependent DMC steady-state simulation method, has been implemented in McCARD and applied for two-dimensional core kinetics problems in the time-dependent neutron transport benchmark C5G7-TD. The McCARD DMC calculation results show good agreement with results of a deterministic transport analysis code, nTRACER.

Detailed analysis of the neutron pathway through matter inside the nuclear reactor core is exceedingly needed for safety and economic considerations. Due to the constant development of high-performance computing technologies, neutronics analysis using computer codes became more effective and efficient to perform sophisticated neutronics calculations. In this work, a commercial pressurized water reactor (PWR) presented by Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) Core Physics Benchmark are modeled and simulated using a high-fidelity simulation of OpenMC code in terms of criticality and fuel pin power distribution. Various problems have been selected from VERA benchmark ranging from a simple two-dimension (2D) pin cell problem to a complex three dimension (3D) full core problem. The development of the code capabilities for reactor physics methods has been implemented to investigate the accuracy and performance of the OpenMC code against VERA SCALE codes. The results of OpenMC code exhibit excellent agreement with VERA results with maximum Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of less than 0.04% and 1.3% for the criticality eigenvalues and pin power distributions, respectively. This demonstrates the successful utilization of the OpenMC code as a simulation tool for a whole core analysis. Further works are undergoing on the accuracy of OpenMC simulations for the impact of different fuel types and burnup levels and the analysis of the transient behavior and coupled thermal hydraulic feedback.

본 논문에서는 MC 시뮬레이션 기법과 QA 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 인접채널간섭, 동위상간섭, 가우시안 잡음이 존재하는 직접위성방송 채널을 성능 평가하였다. 시뮬레이션을 하기 위한 시스템 파라미터들은 현재 무궁화호 위성에서 사용하고 있는 파라미터 및 링크 설계를 기초로 하여 설정하였으며, 두 가지 기법 모두 성능이 수학적 이론 성능에 근접함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 백색잡음과 페이딩환경에서 IS-95 시스템 역방향의 성능을 평가하는데 있어 컴퓨터 수행시간을 개선할 수 있는 획기적인 방법을 제안하고 제안된 방법의 효율성은 샘플수의 형태로 입증된다. 현재 통신 시스템의 성능분석에 가장 많이 사용되는 MC(Monte Carlo) 시뮬레이션 기법은 낮은 에러율에서 많은 시뮬레이션 수행시간을 요구한다. 때문에 MC 방법은 컴퓨터 수행속도의 한계를 피할 수 없게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 방식인 센트랄 모멘트 기법을 IS-95 시스템 역방향에 적용하여 MC 방법에서 요구되는 데이터 샘플수보다 적은 수신신호의 N차 센트랄 모멘트로부터 이산 확률밀집함수를 얻을 수 있다. 연속된 누적확률분포 함수는 보간법을 통해 정확하게 되고 샘플수에서의 개선 효과가 입증된다.

The aim of this study is to calculate the JO-IMRT dose distributions based on the AAPM TG-119 using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and Prowess Panther treatment planning system (TPS) (Panther, Prowess Inc., Chico, CA). JO-IMRT dose distributions of AAPM TG-119 were calculated by the TPS and were recalculated by MC simulation. The DVHs and 3D gamma index using global methods implemented in the PTW-VeriSoft with 3%/3 mm were used for evaluation. JO-IMRT dose distributions calculated by TPS and MC were matched the TG-119 goals. The gamma index passing rates with 3%/3 mm were 98.7% for multi-target, 96.0% for mock prostate, 95.4% for mock head-and-neck, and 96.6% for C-shape. The dose in the planning target volumes (PTV) for TPS was larger than that for the MC. The relative dose differences in D99 between TPS and MC for multi-target are 1.52%, 0.17% and 1.40%, for the center, superior and inferior, respectively. The differences in D95 are 0.16% for C-shape; and 0.06% for mock prostate. Mock head-and-neck difference is 0.40% in D99. In contrast, the organ curve for TPS tended to be smaller than MC values. JO-IMRT dose distributions for the AAPM TG-119 calculated by the TPS agreed well with the MC.

Nonlinear parameterization of OLED device from measurements of bias dependence of impedance spectra and parameter extraction using Levenberg-Marquardt complex nonlinear least square regression algorithm based on resistor-capacitor equivalent circuit model enables computer simulation of OLED power driving characteristics in forms of square-wave or sinusoidal output signal at arbitrary conditions. We introduce developed OLED power driving simulation software and discuss transient responses in voltage-or current-controlled operations as well as nonlinear characteristics of OLED, by presenting both the simulation and experimental results. This OLED simulation technique using impedance spectroscopy is extremely useful in predicting performance of the nonlinear device, especially in time-domain analysis of device operation.

본 논문에서는 선도이자율 모형과 리보이자율 모형 사이의 관계를 이용하여 채권 옵션의 해석적인 해(Analytic Solution; AS)와 몬테 카르로 시뮬레이션(Monte Carlo Simulation; MCS)을 이용한 가격 결정을 다룬다. AS를 이용한 채권 옵션가격 결정은 Ritchken and Sankarasubramanian (RS)의 제한 조건을 이용하여 할인된 채권 가격을 구하는 공식을 유도하고, 선도이자율과 리보이자율 모형의 변동함수 사이의 관계를 활용한다. MCS을 이용한 채권 옵션 가격 결정은 MCS을 이용하여 제시된 조건으로부터 여러 가지 예정된 전개의 시뮬레이션을 활용한다. AS와 MCS을 이용한 가격 결정 방법을 실행하여 얻은 가격을 비교하면 AS와 MCS의 상대오차(Relative Error; RE)를 구할 수 있다. 이때 본 연구의 결과로부터 RE가 약 3.9%가 됨을 확인할 수 있다. 이것은 AS뿐만 아니라 MCS을 이용해도 채권 옵션의 가격을 매우 정확하게 예측할 수 있음을 의미한다.

This paper is aimed to study the computer simulation of sintering process for ceramics by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods. Plural mechanisms of mass transfer were designed in the MC simulation of sintering process for micron size particles; the transfer of pore lattices for shrinkage and the transfer of solid lattices for grain growth ran in the calculation arrays. The MD simulation was performed in the case of nano size particles of ionic ceramics and showed the characteristic features in sintering process at atomic levels. The MC and MD simulations for sintering process are useful for microstructural design for ceramics.

Monte Carlo simulation(MC) method was used as an uncertainty assessment tool for gas flow measurement in this paper. Uncertainty sources for gas flow measurement were analyzed, and probability distribution characteristics of each source were discussed. Detailed MC methodology was described including the effect of the number of simulation. The uncertainty result was compared with that of the conventional sensitivity coefficient method, and it was revealed that the results were different from each other for this particular gas flow measurement case of which the modelling equation was nonlinear. The MC was comparatively simple, convenient and accurate as an uncertainty assessment method, especially in cases of complex, nonlinear measurement modelling equations. It was noted that the uncertainty assessment method should be selected carefully according to the mathematical characteristics of the measurement.
