LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION DISTANCE [1 record]

Record 1 2015-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The distance beyond the boundary of a medium to a point at which the tangent to the asymptotic neutron flux density at the boundary goes to zero in the one-group theory of neutron transport.

OBS

The asymptotic flux density is the flux density far from boundaries, localized sources, and localized absorbers.

OBS

linear extrapolation distance; augmentation distance: terms and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Dans la théorie à un groupe du transport des neutrons, distance de la limite d'un milieu au point où la distribution de la densité de flux neutronique asymptotique s'annulerait si elle était représentée au-delà du milieu par la tangente menée en un point de cette limite à la courbe de distribution de la densité asymptotique du flux neutronique dans le milieu.

OBS

La densité de flux asymptotique est la densité de flux loin des limites, des sources localisées et des absorbeurs localisés.
