[EN] The simplified spherical harmonics equations are a useful approximation to the stationary neutron transport equation. The eigenvalue problem associated with them is a challenging problem from the computational point ...
[EN] The dominant lambda-modes associated with a nuclear reactor configuration describe the neutron steady-state distribution and its criticality. Furthermore, they are useful to develop modal methods to study reactor ...
[EN] In nuclear engineering, the lambda-modes associated with the neutron diffusion equation are applied to study the criticality of reactors and to develop modal methods for the transient analysis. The differential ...

[EN] Determination of the reactor kinetic characteristics is very important for the design and development of a new reactor system.
In this sense, the computation of lambda modes associated to a nuclear power reactor has ...
[EN] Different spatial modes can be defined for the neutron diffusion equation such as the k; a and c-modes.
These modes have been successfully used for the analysis of nuclear reactor characteristics. In this work,
these ...
