The Half-Space Albedo Calculations with the Linear-Quadratik Anisotropic Scattering with Singular Eigenfunction Method

Abstract

In this study the infinite medium Green’s function is derived for linear-quadratic anisotropic scattering in one-speed neutron transport theory and, it is used for the half-space albedo calculations with Singular eigenfunction method. The calculated numerical results completely conformed to Modified FN (HN) method the results.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada tek-hızlı nötron transport teoride çalışılan lineer-kuadratik anizotropik saçılma fonksiyonu için sonsuz ortam Green fonksyionu elde edilmiş ve yarı-uzay albedo hesaplamaları için Singüler özfonksiyonlar yönteminde kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sayısal sonuçlar Modified FN (HN) yöntemi sonuçları ile tamamen uyumludur
