Abstract
Abstract One of the common methods for solving the radiation transport equation is to use a polynomial expansion for the angle variable(s). Recent research that reduces the oscillations and improves the positivity of the gray transport equation solutions is here applied to the multigroup transport equations. Constant scale factors that stretch the time axis and constant scattering opacities that filter the solution greatly increase the accuracy of the solution with no added nonlinearities. No new solution techniques are required. Test problems are presented in one and two dimensions.
期刊介绍:
Emphasizing computational methods and theoretical studies, this unique journal invites articles on neutral-particle transport, kinetic theory, radiative transfer, charged-particle transport, and macroscopic transport phenomena. In addition, the journal encourages articles on uncertainty quantification related to these fields. Offering a range of information and research methodologies unavailable elsewhere, Journal of Computational and Theoretical Transport brings together closely related mathematical concepts and techniques to encourage a productive, interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
