An integral transport theory boundary condition applied to close-packed lattice cells with investigations into a heuristic flux convergence method

Creator:

Sterbentz, James W.

Abstract:

Spatial flux profiles were calculated in idealized, optically-thin ( 1 mfp) cell systems using integral transport theory. Numerical accuracy improvement and convergence efficiency in computing these spatial flux profiles was the primary concern. Toward these ends, kernel volume-averaging techniques for curvilinear cell systems, a reflective angular-dependent edge source boundary condition...
