Pages : 77
Book Description
The calculation of neutron flux distribution and growth rate for small, spherically symmetric systems usually requires extensive computing time on the largest machines. To minimize computing time, a compromise between the simplicity of diffusion theory and the accuracy of transport theory is needed. The Serber-Wilson method, Feynman's method, and early flux synthesis methods are used as the foundation for integral equation synthesis (IES) which is an approximate, numerical technique for obtaining the spatial and energy neutron flux distributions in multiplying systems. In IES, the integral form of the neutron transport equation is specialized to spatial dependence only, and then solved numerically for the two lowest order eigenfunctions. Similar specialization to energy dependence only yields a second set of trial eigenfunctions. Using standard perturbation methods, the two sets of trial eigenfunctions are synthesized into a single, two-dimensional solution. The IES technique was used to calculate the flux and multiplication factor, k, of the critical plutonium sphere, Jezebel. Results for k agreed to within 0.01% of published values, whereas the spatial flux, when normalized at the center, agreed to within 8% at the outer assembly boundary. The Jezebel calculation using IES required about 90 seconds CPU time on an IBM 360/75. Highly sophisticated codes require approximately ten minutes of CDC 7600 CPU time to compute the Jezebel flux and growth rate. (Author).

Integral Equation Methods for Electromagnetic and Elastic Waves
Author: Weng Cho Chew
Publisher: Morgan & Claypool Publishers
ISBN: 1598291483
Category : Elastic waves
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Integral Equation Methods for Electromagnetic and Elastic Waves is an outgrowth of several years of work. There have been no recent books on integral equation methods. There are books written on integral equations, but either they have been around for a while, or they were written by mathematicians. Much of the knowledge in integral equation methods still resides in journal papers. With this book, important relevant knowledge for integral equations are consolidated in one place and researchers need only read the pertinent chapters in this book to gain important knowledge needed for integral equation research. Also, learning the fundamentals of linear elastic wave theory does not require a quantum leap for electromagnetic practitioners. Integral equation methods have been around for several decades, and their introduction to electromagnetics has been due to the seminal works of Richmond and Harrington in the 1960s. There was a surge in the interest in this topic in the 1980s (notably the work of Wilton and his coworkers) due to increased computing power. The interest in this area was on the wane when it was demonstrated that differential equation methods, with their sparse matrices, can solve many problems more efficiently than integral equation methods. Recently, due to the advent of fast algorithms, there has been a revival in integral equation methods in electromagnetics. Much of our work in recent years has been in fast algorithms for integral equations, which prompted our interest in integral equation methods. While previously, only tens of thousands of unknowns could be solved by integral equation methods, now, tens of millions of unknowns can be solved with fast algorithms. This has prompted new enthusiasm in integral equation methods. Table of Contents: Introduction to Computational Electromagnetics / Linear Vector Space, Reciprocity, and Energy Conservation / Introduction to Integral Equations / Integral Equations for Penetrable Objects / Low-Frequency Problems in Integral Equations / Dyadic Green's Function for Layered Media and Integral Equations / Fast Inhomogeneous Plane Wave Algorithm for Layered Media / Electromagnetic Wave versus Elastic Wave / Glossary of Acronyms
