摘要
In this paper we describe a hybrid deterministic/Monte Carlo algorithm for neutron transport simulation. The algorithm is based on nonlinear accelerators for source iteration, using Monte Carlo methods for the purely absorbing high-order problem and a Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov iteration for the low-order problem. We couple the Monte Carlo solution with the low-order problem using filtering to smooth the flux and current from the Monte Carlo solver and an analytic Jacobian-vector product to avoid numerical differentiation of the Monte Carlo results. We use a continuous energy deposition tally for the Monte Carlo simulation. We conclude the paper with numerical results which illustrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm.
