Abstract
A parallel DSA algorithm based on the red-black sweep PCG method is proposed to accelerate the neutron transport calculation in the 3-D cylindrical geometry. This parallel acceleration technique shares the same spatial domain decomposition strategy with the KBA method. The red-black sweep iteration is formed by moving the r- and θ-axial components of the diffusion operator into the right hand side of the diffusion equation. Using the initial values refreshed by several red-black sweep iterations simplifies the matrix-vector multiplication in the CG procedure. Through the homogeneous problems, how the times of the red-black sweep effects the DSA algorithm is analyzed. A wide range of problems including FBR benchmark, PWR Pin-by-pin calculation and PWR shielding calculation have been performed to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the new method. The solution time is reduced by 3 ~ 10 times in different problems. This new acceleration algorithm has well parallel scalability.
