Acceleration methods for assembly-level transport calculations

  • 1. Texas A and M Univ., College Station, TX (United States). Dept. of Nuclear Engineering

Description

A family acceleration methods for the iterations that arise in assembly-level transport calculations is presented. A single iteration in these schemes consists of a transport sweep followed by a low-order calculation which is itself a simplified transport problem. It is shown that a previously-proposed method fitting this description is unstable in two and three dimensions. It is presented a family of methods and shown that some members are unconditionally stable. (author). 8 refs, 4 figs, 4 tabs
