On the degraded effectiveness of diffusion synthetic acceleration for multidimensional sn calculations in the presence of material discontinuities
Description:
We investigate the degradation in performance of diffusion synthetic acceleration (DSA) methods in problems with discontinuities in material properties. A loss in the effectiveness of DSA schemes has been Observed before with other discretizations in two dimensions under certain conditions. We present more evidence in support of the conjecture that DSA effectiveness can degrade in multidimensional problems with discontinuities in total cross section, regardless of the particular physical config…
