Abstract: Since its initial development as a specialty technique for modeling neutron transport in fissile materials almost 80 years ago, the Monte Carlo method has since been deployed in almost every area of science and engineering, ...

Abstract: A nonisothermal medium is modeled using the multilayer approach in which the continuous temperature distribution in a onedimensional system as modeled as being piecewise constant. This has been shown to provide accurate ...

Abstract: This work is a statistical study of the broadband light absorption in thin film solar cells, enhanced by metallic surface nanotexturing. We consider optimum grating structures on the surface of amorphous silicon solar cells ...

Abstract: A computational study of a metamaterial (MTM)-on-glass composite is presented for the purpose of increasing the energy efficiency of buildings in seasonal or cold climates. A full-spectrum analysis yields the ability to ...

Abstract: Most thermal radiation problems are analyzed in a “forward” manner, in which the aim is to predict the response of a system based on well-defined boundary conditions. In practice, however, many thermal radiation problems ...
