Two major developments in this study may be outlined as: (i) the application of the condensed random walk concept of the ETRAN family of computer codes into the discrete ordinates (ANISN) format; (ii) and the formulation of inelastic cross-sections by the collisional average energy loss model. The inelastic cross-sections are employed in a continuous slowing down mode in the ANISN format, so the general model is referred to as ANISN-CSDM. The characteristics of ANISN-CSDM are: the application of an elastic multiple scattering approximation to replace detailed (single-scatter) small interval calculations. This approximation permits more efficient approximate calculations and makes the deep-penetration radiation transport analysis possible within reasonable computer storage and time limitations. A single-inelastic scatter and an elastic scatter are allowed per energy step by defining a model energy loss and equating this to an energy group width, thereby specifying a mechanism for continuous slowing down of the primary particle. The average energy loss of the primary particle does not include small energy transfer collisions whose magnitude is less than a chosen (eta) value. Their energy deposition is included in the overall inelastic cross-sections.The types of problems which have been solved are: The scalar flux solutions in thin aluminum slabs, energy/angle transmission through relatively thick aluminum, gold and water slabs; and energy deposition in thick aluminum and in water slabs whose thickness is greater than the range of the incident particle.xv, 219 leaves :Engineering, Nuclear.Thesis
