PARTISN results for the C5G7 MOX benchmark problems
- Jon A.
In early 2001 the Nuclear Energy Agency solicited participants for a proposed new benchmark. The benchmark, known as C5G7 MOX, is intended to be a basis to measure current transport code abilities in the treatment of reactor core problems without spatial homogenization. We have participated with the code transport code PARTISN. PARTISN (PARallel TIme Dependent SN), PARTISN solves the linear Boltzmann transport equation in static and time dependent forms on one, two and three dimensional orthogonal grids using the deterministic (SN) method. A variety of spatial discritization methods are incorporated into PARTISN, however all calculations performed here used the diamond difference approach, coupled with a volume fraction method for non-Cartesian problem geometries. Acceleration of the source iterations is accomplished with diffusion synthetic acceleration (DSA).
