Solvers

Structure used to define the collection of discretization methods for transport calculations associated with each of the particle and additionnal coupled transport informations.

Mandatory field(s)

• methods_list::Vector{Discrete_Ordinates} : list of the particle methods
• maximum_number_of_generations::Int64 : number of particle generations to transport.

Optional field(s) - with default values

• N/A

add_solver(this::Solvers,method::Discrete_Ordinates)

To add a particle and is associated methods to the Solvers structure.

Input Argument(s)

• this::Solvers : collection of discretization method.
• method::Discrete_Ordinates : discretization method.

Output Argument(s)

N/A

Examples

julia> m = Discrete_Ordinates()
julia> ... # Define the methods properties
julia> ms = Solvers()
julia> ms.add_solver(m)

set_maximum_number_of_generations(this::Solvers,maximum_number_of_generations::Int64)

To set the maximum number of particle generation to transport during calculations.

Input Argument(s)
