- A collision-based hybrid method for the discrete ordinates approximation of the multigroup neutron transport equation is developed for two-dimensional time-dependent problems. At each time step, this algorithm splits the neutron transport equation into two equations, where the external source is part of the uncollided equation and the fission and scattering sources are part of the collided equation. Low fidelity energy and angular grids are used with the collided transport solution to decrease convergence time while high fidelity grids are used with the uncollided transport solution to limit discretization error. The hybrid method is shown to be a better solution in terms of both convergence time and accuracy to traditional monolithic coarsening schemes. This advantage is demonstrated for two-dimensional time-dependent problems with different materials using a second order temporal discretization scheme.
