Description
Kinetic equations appear in a lot of domains from astrophysics to nuclear energy, to semi-conductor technology or spatial flights. In the CEA (Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) the Boltzmann equation was studied and as this kinetic equation cannot be solved directly, the approximation of the diffusion equation applied to neutron transport was developed for dimensioning the first nuclear reactor cores.
