Description

An investigation of the infinite Green's function scalar flux in the BN and PN approximations for isotropic source emission for monoenergetic neutron transport is presented. The approximations are clearly defined by closure of the Legendre moments. The formulation features full scattering anisotropy. A numerical Fourier transform inversion then shows the two approximations give nearly identical results to 7-places beyond 1 mfp from the source. (authors)
