Multilevel Iteration Method for Binary Stochastic Transport Problems (2104.01141v1)

Abstract: This paper presents an iteration method for solving linear particle transport problems in binary stochastic mixtures. It is based on nonlinear projection approach. The method is defined by a hierarchy of equations consisting of the high-order transport equation for materials, low-order Yvon-Mertens equations for conditional ensemble average of the material partial scalar fluxes, and low-order quasidiffusion equations for the ensemble average of the scalar flux and current. The multilevel system of equations is solved by means of an iterative algorithm with the $V$-cycle. The iteration method is analyzed on a set of numerical test problems.
