Variational nodal transport methods for hexagonal and three-dimensional geometries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The properties of the variational nodal method for neutron transport calculations are investigated. The method is generalized for three-dimensional multigroup criticality problems in both hexagonal-z and Cartesian geometries. The method is implemented as part of the Argonne National Laboratory Code DIF3D, and applied to a series of benchmark reactor ...

A Nodal Ghost Method Based on Variational Formulation And  Regular Square Grid for Elliptic Problems on Arbitrary Domains in Two Space Dimensions

open access: yesComputer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering
This paper focuses on the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with Dirichlet and mixed boundary conditions, specifically addressing the challenges arising from irregular domains. Both finite element method (FEM) and finite difference method (FDM), face difficulties in dealing with arbitrary domains. The paper introduces

Review on finite element method

open access: yesJournal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017
In this work, we have discussed what Finite Element Method (FEM) is, its historical development, advantages and its future. The eventual intension of using FEM is to determine the nodal solution of a particular problem under study.
