Abstract
In this work we present a LTSN formulation for the isotropic neutron transport problem in a slab assuming c = 1. The LTSN solution for c = 1 is modified by applying the Schur decomposition and Heaviside expansion techniques. Numerical results are reported.
Kurzfassung
Die LTSN Lösung der Transportgleichung für eindimensionale kartesische Geometrie mit c = 1. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine LTSN Formulierung für das isotropische Neutronentransportproblem in einer Platte bei Annahme von c = 1 vorgestellt. Die LTSN Lösung für c = 1 wird modifiziert durch Anwendung der Schur-Zerlegung und der Heaviside Expansionsverfahren. Über die numerischen Ergebnisse wird berichtet.
