Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 DEF
An approximate method for solving the transport equation, related to the spherical harmonics method and based on two expansions of the angular dependence of the differential particle flux density, one in the forward direction and one in the backward direction. This method is used mainly when there is a marked change of neutron characteristics across a boundary. 2, record 3, English, - double%20spherical%20harmonics%20approximation%20method
