AbstractThe paper aims to develop an effective preconditioner and conduct the convergence analysis of the corresponding preconditioned GMRES for the solution of discrete problems originating from multi-group radiation diffusion equations. We firstly investigate the performances of the most widely used preconditioners (ILU(k) and AMG) and their combinations (Bco and Bco), and provide drawbacks on their feasibilities. Secondly, we reveal the underlying complementarity of ILU(k) and AMG by analyzing the features suitable for AMG using more detailed measurements on multiscale nature of matrices and the effect of ILU(k) on multiscale nature. Moreover, we present an adaptive combined preconditioner Bcoα involving an improved ILU(0) along with its convergence constraints. Numerical results demonstrate that Bcoα-GMRES holds the best robustness and efficiency. At last, we analyze the convergence of GMRES with combined preconditioning which not only provides a persuasive support for our proposed algorithms, but also updates the existing estimation theory on condition numbers of combined preconditioned systems.

Paper presents the results of the growth rate of the interaction layer of uranium-molybdenum dispersed fuel in aluminum matrix and influence of silicon alloying on it. The growth process of amorphous interaction layer depends on the radiation diffusion which is proportional to the fission rate in the power of 1⁄4. The alloying of the matrix by silicon does not lead to a change in the mechanism and kinetics of the interaction layer growth, but only slows it down.

The invariant imbedding technique is applied to the problems of radiation transfer in a plane-parallel inhomogeneous atmosphere. All the parameters which describe the elementary event of scattering and the distribution of the energy sources are allowed to vary with depth. Mathematically, the considered standard problems of the theory are reduced to initial-value problems which are better adapted to capabilities of the modern high speed computers. The reflectance of an atmosphere is shown to play a prominent role in describing the diffusion process since all the other characteristics of the radiation field are expressed through it. Three transfer problems frequently encountered in astrophysical applications are discussed: the radiation diffusion in the source-free medium, in a medium with arbitrarily distributed energy sources, as well as the problem of finding the statistical mean quantities, characteristics of the multiple scattering in the atmosphere.

Calculations of absorption, transport scattering, and radiation diffusion coefficients for a highly porous material of quartz fibers are performed by use of rigorous scattering theory for arbitrarily oriented cylinders. New results concerning resonance absorption in the semitransparency region and intensive “scattering by absorption” at refractive index n ≈ 1 in the opacity region are obtained. Numerical results for the radiation diffusion coefficient from a theoretical model without taking into account both dependent scattering and interference effects are in a good agreement with the experimental data for isotropic fibrous material of density 144 kg/m3. Calculations allow us to give practical proposals to simplify the determination of optical properties of poly disperse material with randomly oriented fibers. Some results on the radiative–conductive heat transfer in the material considered are presented. The radiation transfer is described in the P1 approximation. A two-band spectral model with bands corresponding to semitransparency and opacity regions is proposed. Applicability of a modified radiative conduction approximation both to transient and to steady-state calculations is discussed.
