For each anisotropic kernel, the sampling method of the direction cosine of either newborn fission neutrons or scattered neutrons is presented by extracting the required probability distribution function (PDF). The simulation starts with an initial guess and following the presented procedure, the criticality thickness of the system is estimated with a certain convergence criterion. Different variance reduction methods, such as implicit capture, Russian-roulette and splitting, are also implemented to get more precise results with a reasonable computational time cost. The validity of the presented method is verified by comparing with the results of different deterministic methods.

The transformed equations have been solved using the shooting method incorporated with the Runge–Kutta technique. Through the application of these techniques, it has been ascertained that multiple solutions have emerged for this problem. To assess the stability of these solutions, the eigenvalue approach has been employed. The eigenvalue approach has revealed that only the first solution is physically viable in laboratory settings, while the second solution is not. The effects of radiation on temperature, skin friction, velocity and heat transfer rate have been elaborated upon in detail. Furthermore, flow separation points have been identified and the rationale behind the delay in flow separation has been expounded upon. Streamlined patterns have been drawn and explained to enhance our understanding of the fluid flow behaviour.
