Description

A global conservation equation is derived for the one-velocity Psub(N) approximation for the critical slab with isotropic scattering. Its relationship to various sets of boundary conditions in the P3 approximation (e.g. Marshak or Pomraning-Federighi) is examined, and its implications for the infinite slab (Milne problem) are discussed.
