          Abstract

          U 1 and P 1 approximations are used for the calculation of asymptotic relaxation length in one-dimensional neutron transport equation. The approximation methods are applied to anisotropic neutron transport equation with backward and forward scattering. The methods are based on the series expansion of the neutron angular flux in terms of the Chebyshev polynomials of second kind and Legendre polynomials. By applying the first order approximation to the transport equation, asymptotic relaxation lengths are calculated. Numerical results obtained from both methods are compared with each other.

          Kurzfassung

          U 1 und P 1 Approximationen wurden verwendet für die Berechnung der asymptotischen Relaxationslünge in der eindimensionalen Neutronentransportgleichung. Die Näherungsmethoden wurden angewendet auf die anisotrope Neutronentransportgleichung mit Rückwürts- und Vorwürtsstreuung. Die Methoden basieren auf der Reihenexpansion der Winkelverteilung des Neutronenflusses in Form von Tschebyscheff-Polynomen zweiter Art und Legendre-Polynomen. Durch Anwendung der Nüherung erster Art auf die Transportgleichung werden asymptotische Relaxationslüngen berechnet. Die mit beiden Methoden erhaltenen numerischen Ergebnisse werden miteinander verglichen.

          Application of the U N method to the reflected critical slab problem for one-speed neutrons with forward and backward scattering

          The U N method is used to solve the critical slab problem for reflecting boundary conditions in one-speed neutron transport theory. The isotropic scattering kernel with the combination of forward and backward scattering is chosen for the neutrons in a uniform finite slab. It is shown that the method converges rapidly with easily executable equations. The presented numerical results are compared with the results available in the literature.
