چکیده انگلیسی
In this paper, we present an accurate and robust scaling operator based on material optical thickness (OT) for the least-squares spherical harmonics (LSPN) method for solving neutron transport problems. LSPN without proper scaling is known to be erroneous in highly scattering medium, if the optical thickness of the material is large. A previously presented scaling developed by Manteuffel et al. does improve the accuracy of LSPN in problems where the material is optically thick. With that method, however, essentially no scaling is applied in optically thin materials, which can lead to an erroneous solutions in the presence of a highly scattering medium. Another scaling approach, called the reciprocal-removal (RR) scaled LSPN, which is equivalent to the self-adjoint angular flux (SAAF) equation, has numerical issues in highly-scattering materials due to a singular weighting. We propose a scaling based on optical thickness that improves the solution in optically thick media while avoiding the singularity in the SAAF formulation.
