The recently developed exponential discontinuous spatial differencing scheme for the discrete-ordinate equations has been extended to x-y-z geometry with hexahedral cells. This scheme produces strictly positive angular fluxes given positive discrete-ordinate sources. The exponential discontinuous scheme has been developed and implemented into the three-dimensional, discrete-ordinate code. THREEDANT. Numerical results are given which show that the exponential discontinuous scheme is very accurate for deep-penetration transport problems with optically thick spatial meshes.
