AN ITERATIVE METHOD IN NEUTRON TRANSPORT THEORY

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.

>An iterative method for solving problems in neutron transport theory is described. The method uses the result of a low-order spherical harmonics calculation as the initial function and attempts to improve this with one iteration. The results for the one-velocity Boltzmann equation with plane symmetry show that good accuracy is obtained for many practical cases. (auth)
