To solve the large-group diffusion adjoint equation the averaged group constants have to be pre-calculated. However, at this point the forward and adjoint fluxes are unknown. Thus, an alternative method, independent of the solution of this equation, has to be provided. This method is divided into two steps. In the first, the forward and adjoint spectra should be obtained for a unit cell assuming infinite medium. The second step consists of the correction for a finite medium by approximating the spatial dependence by a single Fourier fundamental mode in terms of the geometrical buckling B2. This paper is dedicated to the solution of the second step. Therefore, forward and adjoint P1 equations were both obtained and numerically solved in lethargy space in order to provide the neutron fluxes in a finite unit fuel cell. Moreover, the direct, adjoint and bilinear weighting for calculation of macrogroup constants is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
