Stability analysis of nonlinear two-grid method for multigroup neutron diffusion problems

Journal Article Anistratov, Dmitriy Y., E-mail: anistratov@ncsu.edu ; Cornejo, Luke R., E-mail: lrcornej@ncsu.edu ; Jones, Jesse P., E-mail: jpjones6@ncsu.edu - Journal of Computational Physics

We present theoretical analysis of a nonlinear acceleration method for solving multigroup neutron diffusion problems. This method is formulated with two energy grids that are defined by (i) fine-energy groups structure and (ii) coarse grid with just a single energy group. The coarse-grid equations are derived by averaging of the multigroup diffusion equations over energy. The method uses a nonlinear prolongation operator. We perform stability analysis of iteration algorithms for inhomogeneous (fixed-source) and eigenvalue neutron diffusion problems. To apply Fourier analysis the equations of the method are linearized about solutions of infinite-medium problems. The developed analysis enables us to predictmore »« less

Nonlinear reactor multigroup neutron transport system: Existence and stability problems

Journal Article Chen, G ; Leung, A W - Journal of Mathematical Physics (New York); (USA)

This article considers a system of nonlinear transport equations describing multigroup neutron fission and scattering, coupled with temperature feedback. Various possibilities of temperature feedbacks are studied. Existence, together with upper and lower bounds of solutions are considered. Sufficient conditions for stability and instability are given for various feedbacks.

Convergence analysis of two-node CMFD method for two-group neutron diffusion eigenvalue problem

Journal Article Jeong, Yongjin ; Park, Jinsu ; Lee, Hyun Chul ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

In this paper, the nonlinear coarse-mesh finite difference method with two-node local problem (CMFD2N) is proven to be unconditionally stable for neutron diffusion eigenvalue problems. The explicit current correction factor (CCF) is derived based on the two-node analytic nodal method (ANM2N), and a Fourier stability analysis is applied to the linearized algorithm. It is shown that the analytic convergence rate obtained by the Fourier analysis compares very well with the numerically measured convergence rate. It is also shown that the theoretical convergence rate is only governed by the converged second harmonic buckling and the mesh size. It is also notedmore »« less

Application of multi-grid method to solving the NEM form of multigroup neutron diffusion equation

Journal Article Al-Chalabi, R M ; Turinsky, P J - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

In this paper we propose a multigrid (MG) method for accelerating the solution of the eigenvalue matrix problem that originates from discretizing the multigroup neutron diffusion equation utilizing the nodal expansion method (NEM). The method uses a consistent homogenization as a restriction operator (i.e., mapping the fine grid data into the coarse grid), and for the prelongation operator (i.e., reconstruction of the fine grid solution) a variant of the form function concept is used. The methodology relies on the nodal code NESTLE to provide the nodal solution for each grid level problem. The merit of the MG method is demonstratedmore »« less
