Se analizan distintos Métodos Espectrales para aproximar la ecuación de los Modos Lambda, tanto para geometrías unidimensionales, como para geometrías bidimensionales en las que un mallado hexagonal representa los elementos ...
[EN] To study the behaviour of nuclear power reactors it is necessary to solve the time dependent neutron
diffusion equation using either a rectangular mesh for PWR and BWR reactors or a hexagonal mesh for
VVER reactors. ...
[EN] The neutron transport equation describes the distribution of neutrons inside a nuclear reactor core. Homogenization strategies have been used for decades to reduce the spatial and angular domain complexity of a nuclear ...
[EN] Spectral preconditioners are based on the fact that the convergence rate of Krylov subspace
methods is improved if the eigenvalues of smallest magnitude of the system matrix are
`removed'. In this paper, two ...
[EN] Domain decomposition is a mature methodology that has been used to accelerate the convergence of partial differential equations. Even if it was devised as a solver by itself, it is usually employed together with Krylov ...
[EN] Starting from a steady state configuration of a nuclear power reactor some situations arise in which the reactor configuration is perturbed. The Lambda modes are eigenfunctions associated with a given configuration ...
The discontinuity factors are a technique widely used in nodal methods to minimize the error due to spatial homogenization of cross sections for a coarse mesh core calculation. In the present work, the introduction of ...
Proper generalized decomposition is a recently developed technique that solves some
multidimensional problems using auxiliar models in a lower dimensional space. A method
based on this technique together with the Newton ...
