To simulate a lot of spheres (10 ^ 12) with the nanoscale in a particular cubic volume (1cm ^ 3) in fluka code (flair), What do you recommend? It seems that using the lattice card due to the increased number of regions is not appropriate!
Coming from Geant4, not from Fluka, 10^12 seems a very large geometry. Assuming only 100 bytes per sphere you would end up with 10'000 GB of RAM - which seems not feasible. What would you learn from 10^12 spheres that you can't learn from one?
Or do you talk about a statistical approach? But then absolute number is not important.
I want to investigate the dose distribution difference between pure water and water mixed with nanoparticles.
What suggestions do you have?
Thanks in advance
As far as i understand, geometry at this level is not important. This assumes, that your spheres are "small" in the sense that fluctuations in beam direction randomly another sphere.
So just create a new material and add the elements H, O, and Au (assuming you have gold spheres) in the correct weight fractions.
