Efficiency of reflection coefficients in the isotropic neutron transport equation and computation of the critical-half thicknesses
-
A. Bülbül
Abstract
The critical slab problem of the reflected isotropic one-speed neutron transport equation is solved with the Chebyshev polynomial approximation. The efficiency of the reflection coefficient, R, in the neutron transport equation is obtained for different c values. For the solution, the Mark boundary condition is used. The values obtained from this approximation are compared with results obtained by the spherical harmonics method.
Kurzfassung
Das Kritikalitätsproblem der Eingruppen-Neutronentransportgleichung bei reflektierenden Randbedingungen und isotroper Streuung wird gelöst mit Hilfe von Tschebyscheff-Polynomen. Die Effizienz des Reflektionskoeffizienten R in der Neutronentransportgleichung wird für verschiedene c-Werte erhalten. Für die Lösung der Gleichung wird die Randbedingung nach Mark verwendet. Die aus dieser Näherung erhaltenen Werte werden verglichen mit Ergebnissen nach der Methode der sphärischen Harmonischen.
