Abstract

At the core scale, neutron deterministic calculations are usually based on the neutron diffusion equation. Classically, this equation can be recast in a mixed variational form, and then discretized by using the Raviart-Thomas-Nédélec Finite Element. The goal is to extend the Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) strategy previously proposed in [1] to the Domain Decomposition+L2 jumps which allows non conformity at the interface between subdomains. We are able to refine each subdomain independently, which eventually leads to a more optimal refinement. We numerically investigate the improvements made to the AMR strategy.
