Nodal finite element approximations for the neutron transport equation

Jean-Pierre Hennart and Edmundo del Valle

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 2010, vol. 80, issue 11, 2168-2176

Abstract: Two classes of nodal methods, weakly and strongly discontinuous, are introduced and applied to the numerical solution of the neutron transport equation in two-dimensional Cartesian geometry and discrete ordinates. These methods are then applied for the approximation of the solution of a reference problem well known in the nuclear engineering literature.
