MANE 4290 - Radiation Transport Methods

This course will present the foundations of numerical (deterministic) and Monte Carlo methods that are widely used in the modeling and analysis of nuclear reactor design, radiation dosimetry, and radiation shielding.  Emphasis will be placed on the three fundamental aspects of computation methods: (i) discretization methods for the transport and diffusion equations; (ii) iterative methods for solving the system of discretized equations; and (iii) Monte Carlo methods for solving general fixed-source and eigenvalue problems.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: MANE 2110  and MANE 4480  

When Offered: Fall term.

Co-Listed: MANE 6290 ; Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and the co-listed course.
