Complete DiscretisationΒΆ

The total system is

\[(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{M}\mathbf{T}^{-1} \mathbf{H}\mathbf{D}\mathbf{S})[\phi_{g\ell ei}] =\mathbf{M}\mathbf{T}^{-1} \mathbf{H} [q_{gkei}]\]

with the following operator definitions:

\[\begin{split}&\mathbf{M}[a_{\dots k \dots}] &&= \sum_{k }w_k Y_{\ell k}a_{\dots k \dots}\\ &\mathbf{D}[b_{\dots \ell \dots}] &&= \sum_{\ell } Y_{\ell k}b_{\dots \ell \dots}\\ &\mathbf{H}[c_{\dots ei}] &&= \sum_{i} c_{\dots \epsilon i}\int_{\epsilon} H_{\epsilon j } H_{\epsilon i} \, d V \\ &\mathbf{S}[d_{\tilde{g} \ell \epsilon \dots }] &&= \sum_{\tilde{g}} \sigma^s_{\ell g \tilde{g} \epsilon } d_{\tilde{g} \ell \epsilon \dots } \\ &\mathbf{T}[\psi_{gkei}] &&= \mathbf{G}_{gk\epsilon}[\psi_{gk\epsilon i}] - \sum_{\beta \in \beta^-_{\epsilon k}} \mathbf{F}_{k\epsilon,\epsilon(\beta)}[\psi_{gk\epsilon(\beta)i}] \\ & &&= \sum_i \psi_{gk\epsilon i} \left[\int_{\epsilon} H_{\epsilon i}\left( \sigma_g H_{\epsilon j} - \Omega_k \cdot \nabla H_{\epsilon j}\right)d V + \sum_{\beta \in \beta^+_{\epsilon k}}|\Omega_k \cdot \mathbf{n}_\beta|\int_{\beta} H_{\epsilon i} H_{\epsilon j} d A \right] \nonumber\\ & &&\quad - \sum_{\beta \in \beta^-_{\epsilon k}}\sum_i \psi_{gk\epsilon (\beta)i}\,|\Omega_k \cdot \mathbf{n}_\beta| \int_{\beta} H_{\epsilon(\beta)i} H_{\epsilon j}d A \nonumber\end{split}\]

and the efficient transport operator inversion algorithm described in the previous section. This defines the total discretisation.

There are several topics that are still open:

  • As discussed in section Linear Systems and Differentation, for an efficient implicit differenitation, we still need to implement the transpose of this operator.

  • We can exploit the lower triangular block structure to efficiently solve the downscatter simulation.

  • We have to choose a particular finite element basis. The above formulation supports any choice, but we will use simplices in most cases.

  • For FW-CADIS we have to solve the adjoint neutron transport equation, which is not the same as the adjoint of the discrete equation.
