Abstract

A new multidimensional semi-analytical benchmark capability is developed. The key feature in the solution is the point kernel formulation. The 3D nature of the source is inherited in the flux making this a true multidimensional test. In addition, an efficient numerical scheme, called iterative interpolation, is used to evaluate the required point kernel solution and maintain benchmark accuracy. The EVENT finite element transport algorithm is compared to the point source solution as the first step of embedding the benchmark directly with the EVENT code. Additional code comparisons will be presented.
