MCSC 6160G - Transport Theory


The course is a general introduction to transport theory. Continuous medium transport and discrete particle transport are presented in a unified manner through the use of the probability distribution function. Various types of transport problems are presented together with analytic solutions for the simpler problems that allow them. Approximate and numerical methods are also covered. Topics include particle distribution functions, generic form of transport equation, particle streaming, one-speed transport theory, linear collision operators, the Boltzmann collision term, diffusion theory, hydrodynamic equations, eigenvalue problems, boundary value problems, perturbation and variational approximation methods, deterministic numerical methods and Monte Carlo simulations.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate linear algebra, differential equations, vector calculus.
