Abstract
Abstract A new, highly precise benchmark for the monoenergetic 1 D neutron transport equation with isotropic scattering, based on Case’s singular eigenfunctions, is presented. Because of the nature of singular distributions, Case’s analytical solution notoriously resists straightforward numerical computation. To overcome this difficulty, two complementary Lagrange interpolation schemes are constructed to achieve extreme precision (∼8 to 10 places) for number of secondaries in the range 0.001 < c < 0.99999 and slab thicknesses in the range 1 < Δ <100.
期刊介绍:
Emphasizing computational methods and theoretical studies, this unique journal invites articles on neutral-particle transport, kinetic theory, radiative transfer, charged-particle transport, and macroscopic transport phenomena. In addition, the journal encourages articles on uncertainty quantification related to these fields. Offering a range of information and research methodologies unavailable elsewhere, Journal of Computational and Theoretical Transport brings together closely related mathematical concepts and techniques to encourage a productive, interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
