Abstract

A generalized nodal finite element formalism is presented, which covers virtually all known finite difference approximations to the discrete ordinates equations in slab geometry. This paper (hereafter referred to as Part II) presents the theory of the so-called “discontinuous moment methods”, which include such well-known methods as the “linear discontinuous” scheme. It is the sequel of a first paper (Part I) where “continuous moment methods” were presented. Corresponding numerical results for all the schemes of both parts will be presented in a third paper (Part III).
