Monte Carlo Fluence(rho,z,ft) and Fluence(fx,z) #14

Closed hayakawa16 closed 5 years ago

hayakawa16 commented 5 years ago

I was recently contact from a student from Notre Dame interested in the frequency domain fluence solutions for the two-layer SDA solution on our Fluence/Interrogation Solver Panel. These options are currently greyed out because these solutions do not currently work or exist.

I would like to suggest that the student use a Monte Carlo solution instead, however we don't currently have Fluence(rho,z,ft) or Fluence(fx,z) implemented. I have reviewed my Monte Carlo lecture 5 at this years short course and the equations which describe taking the spatial- and temporal- Fourier transform of the RTE. What results is a transformed equation for radiance. Taking the integral of this equation over all angles would provide fluence. So I think I can use the modified short cut methods (Testorf, Gardner) to implement fluence solutions.

Any comments regarding this suggestion are welcome.

The latest MCCL download, version 4.6, has these two new detectors, Flu(rho,z,ft) and Flu(fx,z).
