Deterministic Calculation Method for Continuous-energy Neutron Transport Equation in No-resonance Energy-range by LIU Haopo, LI Yunzhao, WU Hongchun, CAO Liangzhi

“…In order to eliminate the multi-group approximation in the deterministic method, a method for calculating neutron transport equation in the non-resonant energy region based on function expansion was proposed. Initially, the non-resonant energy region was subdivided into segments, and within each segment, orthogonal polynomials serve as base functions for expanding the neutron flux density, which realized the processing of single energy independent variable in the neutron flight and absorption process, as well as the handling of double energy independent variable in the neutron scattering process. …”
