Özet

In an earlier paper, the spherical harmonics method for the solution of the time-dependent transport equation with the Marshak boundary conditions was presented in order to investigate the effect of a strongly anisotropic scattering law on the slab thickness. Here, the previous work is extended to the study of the time-dependent problems in a homogeneous sphere with the same scattering function as used in the previous work. The time-dependent neutron transport equation is solved in the manner used for a critical sphere and all radii for a given time-dependent system are determined by finding the critical radii for the corresponding critical system.
