Detailed Description

Diamond difference approximation in one dimension.

The 1-D discretized transport equation in

$|\mu_n| (\psi_{i,n,out} - \psi_{i,n,in}) + \Delta \Sigma \psi_{i,n} = \Delta Q_{i, n} \, .$

To solve this, the cell center flux is related to the incoming and outgoing edge fluxes by a general relation

$\psi_{i,n} = \frac{1+\alpha_{i,n}}{2}\psi_{i,n,out} + \frac{1-\alpha_{i,n}}{2}\psi_{i,n,in} \, .$

Solving for the outgoing flux and inserting in the transport equation yields

$\psi_{i,n} = \frac{Q_{i,n} + \psi_{i,n,in} \frac{2\mu}{\Delta(\alpha_{i,n}+1)}} {\frac{2\mu}{\Delta(\alpha_{i,n}+1)} + \Sigma} \, ,$

and

$\psi_{i,n,out} = \frac{2}{\Delta(\alpha_{i,n}+1)}\psi_{i,n} + \frac{\alpha_{i,n}-1}{\alpha_{i,n}+1} \psi_{i,n,in} \, .$

For the step difference approximation, $\alpha = 1$ over all indices.

In general, we define

$con_{x,i,n} = \frac{2\mu}{\Delta(\alpha_{i,n}+1} ,$

$\beta{1} = \frac{2}{\alpha_{i,n}+1} \, ,$

and

$\beta{2} = \frac{\alpha_{i,n}-1}{\alpha_{i,n}+1} \, .$

which applies to other discretizations, thus yielding a consistent interface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

function SD1D	(	in	mesh,
		in	mat,
		in	quadrature
	)

Class constructor.

Set the mesh and material.

Parameters:

mesh	Problem mesh.

Returns:: Instance of the SD1D class.

Member Function Documentation

function get_con_x	(	in	obj,
		in	octant
	)

function setup_angle	(	in	obj,
		in	mu
	)

Setup the equations for an angle.

Parameters:

mu	Cosine with respect to x axis.
eta	Cosine with respect to y axis.

function setup_group	(	in	obj,
		in	group
	)

Setup the equations for a group.

Here, we'll go through the grid and produce a fine mesh matrix of total cross-sections. This isn't the best thing for memory, but it cuts down a lot on the time within solve.

Parameters:

group Current group.

function setup_octant	(	in	obj,
		in	octant
	)

Setup the equations for an octant.

Parameters:

octant Current octant.

function solve	(	in	obj,
		in	g,
		in	psi_in,
		in	s,
		in	i
	)

Solve for the cell-center and outgoing edge fluxes.

Parameters:

g	Group index
psi_in	Incident flux vector
s	Cell source
i	Cell x index

Returns:: Cell center angular flux and outgoing edge fluxes.
