Boundary perturbation theory for inhomogeneous transport equations

Journal Article Rahnema, F ; Pomraning, G C - Nucl. Sci. Eng.; (United States)

Expressions are developed for the first-order change in a linear functional of the neutron flux due to a perturbation in the exterior boundary of a fixed source problem. The perturbation formulas are derived in transport theory and its diffusion approximation, and several numerical examples are given.

On the equivalence of boundary and boundary condition perturbations in transport theory and its diffusion approximation

Journal Article Rahnema, F ; Ravetto, P - Nuclear Science and Engineering

It is shown that a perturbation in the external boundary of a system can be converted into (treated as) a perturbation in the boundary condition of the neutron balance equation. As a result, one may then use existing boundary condition perturbation or variational methods to estimate the change in the parameters of interest. The equivalent perturbation in the boundary condition is derived both in transport theory and its diffusion approximation for eigenvalue as well as fixed-source problems. Generalized boundary conditions in both diffusion and transport theory are considered. The existence of a solution to the problem with the equivalent boundarymore »« less
Influence of the course boundary value problem on length scale parmeters for second-gradient continuum theories

Conference Luscher, Darby J ; Bronkhorst, Curt A ; Mc Dowell, David L

All nonlocal continuum descriptions of inelastic material response involve length scale parameters that either directly or implicitly quantify the physical dimensions of a neighborhood of response which influences the behavior at a particular point. The second-gradient continuum theories such as those developed by Germain, Toupin and Mindlin, and Eringen, and giving rise to strain-gradient plasticity, is becoming a common coarse-scale basis for homogenization of material response that respects the non local nature of heterogeneous material response. Ideally, the length scale parameters involved in such homogenization would be intrinsically associated with dominant aspects of the microstructure. However, these parameters, at leastmore »« less
