Description
The computational methodology of CHAR, a general 2D-geometry transport code based on the method of characteristics is extended to include linearly anisotropic scattering. We describe the numerical algorithm, and various ways to determine reflected angular flux for specular reflective boundary conditions when the mismatch of the reflected rays is allowed. The new code, CHAR-A, is included in the MAGG-SCALE code system, that permits a flexible energy group structure, advanced cross section processing, and accurate burnup. The accuracy of the code is shown for several test cases and compared with other transport codes. (author)
