Abstract

Nodal diffusion and transport methods are formulated variationally in terms of the even-parity form of the neutron transport equation and applied to problems in X-Y geometry. The resulting functional guarantees the satisfaction of nodal balance, regardless of the form of the space-angle trial function within the node or on its boundaries. Code vectorization and generalization to three dimensions are discussed.
