A Nonlinear Positive Extension of the Linear Discontinuous Spatial Discretization of the Transport Equation

Linear discontinuous (LD) spatial discretization of the transport operator can generate negative angular flux solutions. In slab geometry, negativities are limited to optically thick cells. However, in multi-dimension problems, negativities can even occur in voids. Past attempts to eliminate the neg...
