The Software ModeRTL for Simulation of Radiation Processes in Electron Beam Technologies


Abstract

At present time the electron beam (EB) processing are widely used in different industrial radiation technologies. The success of application of electron beams in radiation technology depends largely on development of computer software to be used for simulation of irradiation process on radiation technological lines (RTL) incorporating an electron accelerator with a scanner of electron beam and a conveyor. The software ModeRTL (Modeling of Radiation-Technological Line) was developed by authors for simulation of radiation processes, that used as an irradiation source of the pulsed or continuous type of electron accelerators with electron energy in the range from 0.1 to 20 MeV. The ModeRTL is intended for: a choice of optimum layout of the radiation equipment at realization of specific radiation-technological process; an optimization of parameters of radiation treatment of objects in view of features of radiation-technological process; a validation of the chosen parameters. For searching optimum solutions, the ModeRTL calculates and represents the spatial distributions of an absorbed electron dose, charge and temperature in an irradiated object, maximum, minimum and average values of an absorbed electron dose, factor of utilization of an electron beam energy, electron ranges, and other important characteristics of electron - material interaction in graphic and tabular forms of convenient for comparative analysis. The software ModeRTL is a complex of physical and mathematical methods included in an uniform program shell. This software uses the Monte Carlo simulation and calculations based on analytical model of irradiation processes, gives an opportunity to compare calculated results with each other and to compare distributions of absorbed dose of electrons in different materials with the world-wide data base. It provides high verification of calculated results and decisions accepted on this base. The ModeRTL program is available for Windows -98/ME/NT/XP PC' s, has a convenient user interface which users can use intuitively, and can be easily adapted to PC-based control system of any industrial RTL with scanning electron beams. Results of the use of the ModeRTL program for optimization of EB processing parameters in some radiation technologies will be discussed.
