Abstract

The linear prolongation flux update scheme is extended to both regular CMFD acceleration, as well as partial CMFD acceleration in 2D multi energy group Monte Carlo k-eigenvalue neutron transport problems. The acceleration performance of these CMFD variants were investigated in simple 2D slab geometries, first with a monoenergetic case and then with a three group problem on the same geometry based on the monoenergetic cross sections. Flux convergence was determined via an on-the-fly convergence diagnostics developed by Ueki and Brown. It is found that on top of providing better acceleration in general, the linear prolongation scheme is also able to correct for instabilities in the CMFD scheme. Overall, the lp-pCMFD scheme employing a maximum history length is found to have the best performance across the cases presented.
