Techniques for Stabilizing Coarse-Mesh Finite Difference (CMFD) in Methods of Characteristics (MOC)

The Coarse-Mesh Finite Difference (CMFD) method has been widely used to effectively accelerate neutron transport calculations. It was however found to be at times unstable in the presence of strong heterogeneities. The common practice to improve stability is to employ a damping factor on the nonline...
