Filtering by: Creator Spinrad, Richard Degree Level Master's Subject Neutron transport theory

A comparison of iterative methods for the solution of elliptic partial differential equations, particularly the neutron diffusion equation

Creator:

Schwinkendorf, Kevin N.

Abstract:

Two new concepts have been explored in solving the neutron diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. At the present time, the diffusion equation is solved using source iterations. These iterations are performed in a mathematical form which has a great deal of physical significance. Specifically, the neutron production term...
