The classical spherical-harmonics method in transport theory

Journal Article · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society
OSTI ID:89110
The spherical-harmonics method (also known as the P{sub N} method) was first suggested by Jeans in 1917 as a solution technique in the field of radiative transfer. In neutron-transport theory, the method was first applied by Marshak and was extensively developed by Mark. The use of the spherical-harmonics method to solve one speed problems in plane geometry with anisotropic scattering is described.
