Abstract

Adjoint neutronics equation is frequently referenced in perturbation analysis and higher order harmonics calculation. For modern nodal method, there are two types of adjoint equations, that's is the physical adjoint equation and the mathematical adjoint equation. For each type of nodal equations, the definition and solution strategy for forward equation is different, so the definition and solution strategy for adjoint equation is also different. Taking Nodal Green's Function Method (NGFM) as an example, the physical adjoint equation and mathematical equation is totally different, the mathematical adjoint equation is required for physical analysis, and the solution of the mathematical adjoint equation requires special strategy. The numerical result about the solution of the mathematical adjoint equation, the applications of the mathematical adjoint into the perturbation analysis and the higher order harmonics calculation proves the importance and success of definition and solution of the mathematical adjoint equation of NGFM.
