TRUNCATION ERRORS IN NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF THE TRANSPORT EQUATION (thesis)

OSTI ID:4717799
The numerical solution of the transport equation for monoenergetic neutrons in a medium with isotropic scattering is given. The object is to determine the accuracy of the numerical methods generally used to solve the transport equation. The analysis is largely confined to the solution of the criticality problem for homogeneous slabs. A criticality problem in x-y geometry is also considered. The criterion of accuracy used is the difference between c, the number of secondary neutrons per collision required for criticality, and an approximation to c given by an nparameter approximate method. 93 references.
