A low-rank power iteration scheme for neutron transport criticality problems

چکیده

Computing effective eigenvalues for neutron transport often requires a fine numerical resolution. The main challenge of such computations is the high memory effort classical solvers, which limits accuracy chosen discretizations. In this work, we derive method computation when underlying solution has low-rank structure. This accomplished by utilizing dynamical approximation (DLRA), an efficient strategy to time evolution equations representations. idea interpret iterates inverse power iteration as pseudo-time steps and apply DLRA concepts in framework. our experiment, demonstrate that significantly reduces requirements while achieving desired accuracy. Analytic investigations show proposed scheme inherits convergence speed iteration, at least simplified setting.

Criticality Problems for Slabs and Spheres in Energy Dependent Neutron Transport Theory

The steady-state equation for energy-dependent neutron transport in isotropically scattering slabs and spheres is formulated as an integral equation. The Perron-FrobeniusJentzsch theory of positive operators is used to analyze criticality problems for transport in slab and spherical media consisting of core and reflector. In addition, with an adroit selection of diffusion-like solutions, this t...

A New Inexact Inverse Subspace Iteration for Generalized Eigenvalue Problems

In this paper, we represent an inexact inverse subspace iteration method for computing a few eigenpairs of the generalized eigenvalue problem Ax = Bx [Q. Ye and P. Zhang, Inexact inverse subspace iteration for generalized eigenvalue problems, Linear Algebra and its Application, 434 (2011) 1697-1715 ]. In particular, the linear convergence property of the inverse subspace iteration is preserved.

Analytical Approaches for Solving Neutron Transport Problems

The exact solutions for stationary and non-stationary neutron transport equations corresponding to various source functions are presented. The semi-infinite medium is considered to have a specular-reflecting boundary with angular dependent externally-incident flux. Some adjustments were made to agree the neutron transport theory with astrophysical applications.

Iterative Methods for Neutron Transport Eigenvalue Problems

We discuss iterative methods for computing criticality in nuclear reactors. In general this requires the solution of a generalised eigenvalue problem for an unsymmetric integro-differential operator in 6 independent variables, modelling transport, scattering and fission, where the dependent variable is the neutron angular flux. In engineering practice this problem is often solved iteratively, u...

Convergence of a Discontinuous Galerkin Scheme for the Neutron Transport

We study the spatial discretization for the numerical solution of a model problem for the neutron transport equation in an innnite cylindrical media. Based on using an interpolation technique in the discontinuous Galerkin nite element procedure, and regulariz-ing properties of the solution operator, we derive an optimal error estimate in L 2 ?norm for the scalar ux. This result, combined with a...
