AN APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL TRANSPORT EQUATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4291818

An approximate method for obtaining a solution of the simplest form of the transport equation is described. The approximation is of the diffusion type, but it incorporates fitting certain parameters by least squares, and so, it is hoped, gives better solutions than the straightforward approximation of this type. A numerical solution is exhibited for a simple case, and this shows features characteristic of diffusion solutions, but gives a good qualitative and quantitative solution. (auth)
