Abstract

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation has been abundantly used for simulation of radiation transport (thermal, neutron, charged-particle etc) in matter. In thermal radiation, for example, surface radiosities and subsequent heat fluxes have been accurately determined in configurations which are difficult for deterministic formulations. In this paper, we consider estimation of the collision density in a 1-D slab and compare with the exact solution. The accuracy of the simulation results is discussed and a Poisson distribution is shown for the events in a random walk. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the underlying simulation process for a simple problem.
