Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:48.18(Nuclear Science & Technology)Particle transport simulations based on the Monte Carlo method have been applied to shielding calculations. Estimation of not only statistical uncertainty related to the number of trials but also systematic one induced by unclear physical quantities is required to confirm the reliability of calculated results. In this study, we applied a method based on analysis of variance to shielding calculations. We proposed random- and three-condition methods. The first one determines randomly the value of the unclear quantity, while the second one uses only three values: the default value, upper and lower limits. The systematic uncertainty can be estimated adequately by the random-condition method, though it needs the large computational cost. The three-condition method can provide almost the same estimate as the random-condition method when the effect of the variation is monotonic. We found criterion to confirm convergence of the systematic uncertainty as the number of trials increases.

A gyrokinetic particle simulation is a powerful tool in studying tokamak microturbulence. A method, which is a standard method in recent gyrokinetic particle simulations, dramatically improved an efficiency of a particle simulation by reducing a particle noise, and full torus turbulence simulations are enabled. In this paper, the method is reviewed, and issues in full torus gyrokinetic particle simulations are discussed.

A new synergy effect between neoclassical and turbulent particle transports in ion temperature gradient driven turbulence is investigated using the Gyrokinetic Toroidal 5D full-f Eulerian code GT5D. It is found that in addition to turbulent particle transport, enhanced neoclassical particle transport due to the new synergy effect through the ambipolar condition makes a significant contribution to particle transport of bulk and impurity ions. This mechanism does not work for temperature, and selectively enhances only particle transport.
