Abstract

The transport equation of Boltzmann is formulated and solved by means of an infinite equation of matrices for the case of the stationary rectilinear propagation of radiation with respect to energy scattering only. It is shown that the matrix formalism is the proper one to explain the qualities of transformations and the non-commutativity of the radiation transmitted through compound, heterogeneous layers of material. Furthermore, an analytical and perspicuous representation of the transmission of divergent beams is given. Finally, simple equations for the flux of radiation, the mean range, and the counting rate are set up. (1 figure) (auth)

GREEN'S FUNCTION FOR THE INTEGRAL-DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR OF THE STATIONARY NEUTRON TRANSPORT THEORY (in German)

Journal Article Kohlmayr, G - Acta Physica Austriaca (Austria)

The stationary neutron field in material media can be described by a linear partial inhomogeneous integrodifferential equation. It is treated as a finite system so that one cam formulate an eigenvalue problem in the case of absent foreign source. In the present work the fission neutron number was used as suitable parameter in neutron propagating media. From the neutron balance of the time reversal transport process the adjunct transport equation is obtained. The Green's functions of the transport and adjunct transport equation satisfy a reciprocal relation. The eigen solution fields, connected by an orthogonal relation, of the transport and themore »« less
THE TRANSMISSION MATRIX METHOD FOR PENETRATION PROBLEMS. Period covered: December 1958 through November 1959

Technical Report Yarmush, D; Zell, J; Aronson, R

BS>A practical machine method for computing transmission and reflection of radiation by laminated slab shields is described, making use of transmission and reflection matrice. these are combined in a way which produces a formal solution of the Boltzmann equation in slab geometry. This result is appiled by using representations in terms of energy groups and angular expansions. Two cedes for the IBM-704 which together carry out the computation of the transmission and reflection matrices are described and operating instructions are given. Numerical results for gamma rays are presented. The advantages of the transmission matrix method as compared to other methodsmore »« less
Nonpotential scattering theory and Lie-admissible algebras: time evolution operators and the S-matrix

Conference Mignani, R - Hadronic J.; (United States)

In this paper we initiate the study of a non-potential scattering theory within the framework of Lie-admissible formulations. By working in a time-dependent approach, we assume as starting point the usual definition of S-matrix as the time development operator connecting states of our system (supposed interacting through nonpotential forces) in the infinite past to states in the infinite future. It is shown that the Lie-admissible generalization of quantum mechanics, needed to take into account nonconservative forces, leads to two different, non-unitary evolution operators in Schroedinger's representation, U/sub +/ and U/sub -/, describing, respectively, motion forward and backward in time.

Reduced order models for thermal radiative transfer problems based on moment equations and data-driven approximations of the Eddington tensor

Journal Article Coale, Joseph; Anistratov, Dmitriy - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer

Here a new group of structure and asymptotic preserving reduced-order models (ROMs) for multidimensional nonlinear thermal radiative transfer (TRT) problems is presented. They are formulated by means of the nonlinear projective approach and data compression techniques. The nonlinear projection is applied to the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) to derive a hierarchy of low-order moment equations. Approximation of the Eddington tensor that provides exact closure for the system of moment equations is found with projection-based data-driven methodologies. These include the (i) proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), (ii) dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and (iii) a variant of the DMD. A parameterization is derivedmore »« less
