Flux-limited diffusion theory for spatially discretized equations : a discretized derivation of Levermore-Pomraning FLDT

Creator:

Laubsch, Bertrand

Abstract:

Spatially discretized diffusion approximation equations are derived directly from spatially discretized radiation transport equations in 1-D slab geometry. Derivations for isotropic diffusion theory (IDT) and Levermore-Pomraning's flux-limited diffusion theory (FLDT) are applied to lumped linear discontinuous (LLD) transport equations. We find that the (energy density) solution is continuous across the...
