On the boundary conditions for the neutron transport equation [PDF]
The solution of the linear transport equation used for the study of neutral particle fields requires the imposition of appropriate boundary conditions. The choice of the conditions to impose for an infinite medium is not straightforward. The question has been given different formulations in the literature with various justifications based on some ...

Solution of neutron-transport multigroup equations system in subcritical systems [PDF]
An iteration method has been implemented to solve a neutron transport equation in a multigroup diffusion approximation. A thermoelectric generator containing plutonium dioxide, used as a source of thermal and electric power in spacecraft, was studied.

Topics in Core-Collapse Supernova Theory: The Formation of Black Holes and the Transport of Neutrinos [PDF]
Core-Collapse Supernovae are one of the most complex astrophysical systems in the universe. They deeply entwine aspects of physics and astrophysics that are rarely side by side in nature.

Laplace-transform-based method to calculate back-reflected radiance from an isotropically scattering half-space [PDF]
We present a method to determine the back-reflected radiance from an isotropically scattering half-space with matched boundary. This method has the advantage that it leads very quickly to the relevant equations, the numerical solution of which is also ...

Neutrino treatment in multidimensional astrophysical simulations : a new spectral scheme [PDF]
Neutrinos play a central role in modern physics and astrophysics. Their extremely weak interaction rate with baryons and other leptons makes their detection on the Earth difficult and challenging.

STUDY OF THE EIGENVALUE SPECTRA OF THE NEUTRON TRANSPORT PROBLEM IN PN APPROXIMATION [PDF]
The study of the steady-state solutions of neutron transport equation requires the introduction of appropriate eigenvalues: this can be done in various different ways by changing each of the operators in the transport equation; such modifications can be ...

Numerical analysis of the neutron multigroup $SP_N$ equations
The multigroup neutron $SP_N$ equations, which are an approximation of the neutron transport equation, are used to model nuclear reactor cores. In their steady state, these equations can be written as a source problem or an eigenvalue problem.

PARTIAL NEUTRON TRANSPORT EQUATIONS
To analyze the spatial kinetics of the reactor, a system of equations for the spatial kinetics of the reactor, consisting of two equations, is usually used. One of them describes the behavior of the neutron flux density, and the second describes the behavior of the precursors of delayed neutrons.
