THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE TIME-DEPENDENT TRANSPORT EQUATION IN FINITE CYLINDRICAL GEOMETRY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4350087
A system of finite difference equations is derived from the time- dependent transport equation for solving problems in finite right cylindrical geometry. The equations are likewise applicable to any azimuthally symmetric geometry. The method employed is a generalization of the spherical Sn technique. An alternative set of equations is derived for the purpose of avoiding negative fluxes near the origin of the system. A rough scheme is presented for coding the equations for calculation on an IBM 704. (auth)
