(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis describes the development and implementation of an algorithm for dramatically increasing the accuracy and reliability of multigroup radiation diffusion simulations at low group counts. This is achieved by ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Fine-group whole-core reactor analysis remains one of the long sought goals of the reactor physics community. Such a detailed analysis is typically too computationally expensive to be realized on anything except the largest ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Modeling full reactor cores with high fidelity transport methods is a difficult task, requiring the largest computers available today. This thesis presents work on an alternative approach using the eigenvalue response ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Diffusion MRI and fMRI have provided neuroscientists with non-invasive tools to probe the functional and structural network of the brain. Diffusion MRI is a neuroimaging technique capable of measuring the diffusion of water ...
