Simulation and Computational Methods in Nuclear Science and Engineering

The Introduction of the Special Issue

There are several computational methods and softwares which widely used in different subjects in the field of nuclear sciences and engineering like safety, designing, etc. In this Special Issue, the computational tools are the Monte Carlo codes (MCNP, GEANT4, FLUKA, EGS5, etc.) and Finite-Elements Softwares and the scope of the special issue is applications and also validation of these tools in various subjects in the field of nuclear science.

The Research Scope of the Special Issue

·Using Monte Carlo in calculating the shields of radiation sources

·Using Monte Carlo in designing the nuclear reactors

·Using Monte Carlo in dosimetery

·Using ANSYS in calculating the charged particles trajectory in magnetic fields

·The importance of Monte Carlo in nuclear engineering

·Comparison between Monte Carlo codes and validation
