Correlations in Monte Carlo eigenvalue simulations : uncertainty quantification, prediction and reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Monte Carlo methods have mostly been used as a benchmark tool for other transport and diffusion methods in nuclear reactor analysis. One important feature of Monte Carlo calculations is the report of the variance of the ... -
Validation of turbulent transport models on Alcator C-Mod and ASDEX upgrade
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)This thesis developed hardware and analysis techniques to measure two validation constraints experimentally, and then applied these constraints in the validation of plasma turbulent transport models on two tokamaks, Alcator ... -
Computational characterization of radiation-induced defect dynamics and material response
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Material degradation due to radiation damage poses serious concern on the reliability and durability of any reactor design. To understand material performance under the extreme environments combining high temperature and ...
