Abstract
A new method for calculating time-dependent integral neutron transport single collision fluxes has been developed for one-dimensional infinite media problems using dimensionless variables and the reduced collision formulation. By transforming the integral scalar flux equation into dimensionless variables, one may immediately integrate over the time domain and reduce the problem complexity to integrations strictly over the spatial domain, significantly reducing the computational work required to obtain a solution. The results have been compared to published benchmark solutions for validation. Further, reformulating the scalar flux as a Green’s function has allowed for the determination of an analytical expression for the relative error of any collision level scalar flux to the summed scalar flux. This provides the absolute number of collisions required for convergence at any given mean free time, using previous work in one-dimensional Cartesian transport and derived work herein for the one-dimensional spherical transport.
