Title: A High-Order Nonlinear Diffusion Acceleration for the SN Equations Discretized with the Discontinuous FEM II: Fourier Analysis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1481897

In this paper, a Fourier Analysis (FA) of a new high order Nonlinear Diffusion Acceleration Method (NDA) for the $$S_N$$ equations discretized with the Discontinuous Finite Element Method (DFEM) is presented. In contrast to coarse mesh finite difference methods (CMFD), the associated diffusion system is discretized using DFEM with a function space identical to the $$S_N$$ equations. The utilized $$S_N$$ solver is the latest addition to the Rattlesnake\cite{Wang2013} radiation transport code that is based on the MOOSE\cite{Gaston2009} framework.
