Abstract

One speed, time independent and homogeneous medium neutron transport equation can be solved with the anisotropic scattering which includes both the linear anisotropic and the quadratic anisotropic scattering properties. Having solved Case’s eigenfunctions and the orthogonality relations among these eigenfunctions, some neutron transport problems such as albedo problem can be calculated as numerically by using numerical or semi-analytic methods. In this study the half-space albedo problem is investigated by using the modified FN method.

Abstract

Die zeitunabhängige Eingruppen-Neutronentransportgleichung kann gelöst werden mit Hilfe der modifizierten FN-Methode für lineare und quadratische anisotrope Streuung. Nach Lösung der Case-Eigenfunktionen und der Orthogonalitätsrelationen zwischen diesen Eigenfunktionen, können einige Neutronentransportprobleme wie z.B. das Albedoproblem berechnet werden mit Hilfe numerischer oder semi-analytischer Methoden. In diesem Beitrag wird das Halbraum-Albedoproblem mit Hilfe der modifizierten F N-Methode näher untersucht.
