THE SLICE BALANCE APPROACH USING AN ADAPTIVE-WEIGHTED CLOSURE
Naval Nuclear Laboratory PO Box 1072, Schenectady, NY 12301, USA
Published online: 22 February 2021
In this paper, we present a formulation of the slice balance approach using a nonlinear closure relation derived analogously from the adaptive-weighted diamond-difference form of the weighted diamond-difference method for Cartesian grids. The method yields strictly positive solutions that reduce to a standard diamond closure with fine-enough mesh granularity. It can be efficiently solved using Newton-like nonlinear iterative methods with diffusion preconditioning.
Key words: Radiation Transport / Slice Balance Approach / Nonlinear Closure / Positivity Preserving
