Title: A linear discontinuous Galerkin approximation for the continuous slowing down operator

Journal Article · · Nucl. Sci. Eng.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6073183

A linear discontinuous Galerkin treatment is developed for the continuous slowing down operator. Multigroup Legendre coefficients are derived that allow this treatment to be implemented in standard S/sub ETA/ codes. A synthetic acceleration scheme is developed to accelerate the outer iterations required by this treatment. A computational comparison between the diamond difference treatment and the linear discontinuous treatment is given.
