Diffusion theory methods for spatial kinetics calculations
T.M. Sutton,B.N. Aviles +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a transverse-integrated class of nodal methods for solving the time-dependent neutron diffusion equation for nuclear reactor analysis is described, as well as techniques for performing the time integration.

The quasi-static method revisited
TL;DR: Improved Quasi-static Method (IQM) as discussed by the authors is a standard tool for the space-time solution of neutron transport problems in multiplying media, where the shape equation is solved on a long time scale, while the amplitude is determined on a short time scale.

Adaptive matrix formation (AMF) method of space–time multigroup reactor kinetics equations in multidimensional model
TL;DR: Adaptive matrix formation (AMF) method has been developed for the numerical solution of the transient multigroup neutron diffusion and delayed precursor equations in two-and three-dimensional geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computation accuracy and efficiency of a power series analytic method for two- and three- space-dependent transient problems
TL;DR: In this article, a PWS code was developed to include a numerical solution for the time-dependent neutron diffusion equations for the nuclear reactor analysis, which employs a new parameter (α) which can reduce the rapid increase in magnitude of the power series coefficients.
Reducing rod cusping effect in nodal expansion method calculations
TL;DR: In this paper, a method based on a physical equivalence was proposed to reduce the effect of rod cusping in neutronics calculations, where a strong discontinuity appears in the control rod worth versus rod insertion curve.
