contents The multigroup neutron diffusion equations are often used to model the neutron density at the nuclear reactor core scale. Classically, these equations can be recast in a mixed variational form. This chapter presents an adaptive mesh refinement approach based on a posteriori estimators. We focus on refinement strategies on Cartesian meshes, since such structures are common for nuclear reactor core applications.
