Second order time evolution of the multigroup diffusion and P1 equations for radiation transport

摘要

An existing solution method for solving the multigroup radiation equations, linear multifrequency-grey acceleration, is here extended to be second order in time. This method works for simple diffusion and for flux-limited diffusion, with or without material conduction. A new method is developed that does not require the solution of an averaged grey transport equation. It is effective solving both the diffusion and P_1 forms of the transport equation. Two dimensional, multi-material test problems are used to compare the solution methods.
