An Innovative Computational Method for Predicting Neutron Transport

Abstract

This final report indicates the work performed under DNA-OO1-96-0103 during the span covering June 1996 through June 1998. Several important findings are reported strongly suggesting that the proposed numerical methodology can perform as initially conceived upon resolving the remaining technical issue involving the numerical integration of integral containing Hadamard type kernels. Preliminary calculations are presented in bath cartesian and spherical geometries indicating that the symbolically augmented method has merit when addressing the numerical simulation of the integral form of the linearized Boltzmann transport equation.
