Development of a deterministic neutron transport code based on the Alya system at Barcelona Supercomputing Center

We introduce a new deterministic neutron transport code integrated in the Alya system at BSC. We explain the basic physical concepts responsible for the production of neutrons and derive the strong and weak forms of the Neutron Transport Equation along with some simplifications.

Sumario:We introduce a new deterministic neutron transport code integrated in the Alya system at BSC. We explain the basic physical concepts responsible for the production of neutrons and derive the strong and weak forms of the Neutron Transport Equation along with some simplifications. We also make a brief introduction to the codes used by the author. Two numerical calculations with our software and other tools are performed. We also check the performance of the code. With this work we provide a good starting point for the further development of the Alya system for multiphysics applications in the fusion domain.
