Hi!
I would like to announce the first version of NeutronTransport.jl, a package that solves the neutron transport equation using the Method of Characteristics approximation.
It is inspired in OpenMOC, a program developed by members of the Computational Reactor Physics Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. OpenMOC is in C++/Python. I have managed to code many of OpenMOC’s functionalities in NeutronTransport.jl in a very short period of time, which shows me (once again) the potential of Julia and its package ecosystem.
Regarding NeutronTransport.jl, short term goals are:
- add CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) support.
- parallelization and many other performance enhancement techniques.
The long term goal is to add more approximations, such as Collision Probability, Discrete Ordinates and Diffusion.
I hope people can make use of this package and contribute!
Thank you!
