255: Numerical Methods in Reactor Analysis (3 units) |
|
 Website
Description:
- Nuclear engineering problems are associated with
a very broad spectrum of mathematical models: mostly partial differential,
integral and integro-differential equations. This course will
cover: fundamentals of numerical analysis, computer solutions
for 1D eigenvalue problems, iterative computational methods for
solving partial differential equations of the elliptic and parabolic
type, finite element methods, finite difference method, coarse-mesh
rebalancing method, collision probability and Monte Carlo methods.
