Collision density formulation, transport equations

The collision probability is one of several possible formulations of integral transport theory. Three other formulations are the integral equations for the neutron flux, neutron birth-rate density, and fission neutron density. Oosterkamp (26) derived perturbation expressions for reactivity in the birth rate density formulation. The fission density formulation provides the basis for Monte Carlo methods for perturbation calculations (52, 55). [Pg.198]

In the collision density, the most commonly used integral transport formulation, the flux and adjoint equations can be written as follows ... [Pg.199]

The Boltzmann equation is considered valid as long as the density of the gas is sufficiently low and the gas properties are sufficiently uniform in space. Although an exact solution is only achieved for a gas at equilibrium for which the Maxwell velocity distribution is supposed to be valid, one can still obtain approximate solutions for gases near equilibrium states. However, it is evident that the range of densities for which a formal mathematical theory of transport processes can be deduced from Boltzmann s equation is limited to dilute gases, since this relation is reflecting an asymptotic formulation valid in the limit of no coUisional transfer fluxes and restricted to binary collisions only. Hence, this theory cannot without ad hoc modifications be applied to dense gases and liquids. [Pg.189]
