ON A NUMERICAL APPROXIMATION TO THE SOLUTION OF THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL, ONE- VELOCITY TRANSPORT EQUATION WITH ISOTROPIC SCATTERING (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4172878
A numerical approximation to the solution of the onedimensional, one- velocity neutron transport equation using the method of discrete ordinates is considered. It has been shown that the discrete case is convergent for a modified Gauss-Seidel iteration procedure. A mathematical discussion is presented for the properties of the coefficient matrix formed by the difference equations. The various iterative procedures which may be used to solve the discrete case are discussed. (W.D.M.)
