Consistent Second Moment Methods with Scalable Linear Solvers for Radiation Transport (2404.17473v1)

Published 26 Apr 2024 in math.NA and cs.NA

Abstract: Second Moment Methods (SMMs) are developed that are consistent with the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) spatial discretization of the discrete ordinates (or \Sn) transport equations. The low-order (LO) diffusion system of equations is discretized with fully consistent \Pone, Local Discontinuous Galerkin (LDG), and Interior Penalty (IP) methods. A discrete residual approach is used to derive SMM correction terms that make each of the LO systems consistent with the high-order (HO) discretization. We show that the consistent methods are more accurate and have better solution quality than independently discretized LO systems, that they preserve the diffusion limit, and that the LDG and IP consistent SMMs can be scalably solved in parallel on a challenging, multi-material benchmark problem.
