Abstract
A method is described for simulating particle transport in a medium which is homogeneous on a macroscopic scale but contains small regions having a different composition from the bulk medium. Modelling the regions explicitly becomes prohibitively expensive when their number density is large. Instead, a sampling scheme is developed which randomly positions regions in the path of the particle being tracked and then discards them once the particle moves on.
