Thermal radiation transfer in material and the interaction between radiative photon and material are important research projects of the inertial confinement fusion, and Monte Carlo method is one of the important researching methods. Based on the implicit integral-differential transport equation, traditional implicit Monte Carlo method can accurately simulate the thermal radiation transport in material. However, the implicit Monte Carlo method would take quite a long computational time when the opacity is increased because scattering events are dominant in particles’ histories, thus reducing the simulation efficiency. In this paper, based on discrete diffusion Monte Carlo method, i.e. a radiation transport code, the discrete diffusion Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation, is developed. The code increases the efficiency of thermal radiation simulations in a high opacity range, but it can yield insufficiently accurate results in a low opacity range. There exist low opacity material and high opacity material in the inertial confinement fusion. In this work, investigated are several numerical techniques that can improve the utility and accuracy of discrete diffusion Monte Carlo for grey thermal radiation simulation. First, the discrete diffusion Monte Carlo method and implicit Monte Carlo method are combined. Second, a new method of treating the interface between the diffusive region and the transport region is proposed. Finally, a hybrid radiative transfer program is developed. In order to verify the hybrid radiative transfer program and the new interface method, a series of numerical experiments for typical thermal radiation transport problem is conducted. In these problems, materials with different opacities are tested. Then the simulation efficiencies and curves of temperature, obtained by the two Monte Carlo methods, are analyzed. According to the simulation results, the program can not only accurately simulate the radiation transport in material with high opacity, but also remarkably increase the simulation efficiency. This is because many implicit Monte Carlo steps are substituted by one diffusive step and the details in the diffusive step are ignored. Also, the propagation of thermal radiation depicted with figures and tables are consistent with the radiation transport theory. In addition, the results from the hybrid Monte Carlo method reach the same accuracy as that from the implicit Monte Carlo method, and the simulation efficiency is remarkably increased.
