Title: A Modified Treatment of Sources in Implicit Monte Carlo Radiation Transport

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1030196

We describe a modification of the treatment of photon sources in the IMC algorithm. We describe this modified algorithm in the context of thermal emission in an infinite medium test problem at equilibrium and show that it completely eliminates statistical noise.
