3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION - Given the material density profiles which describe a one-dimensional reference system with a neutron source, SWAN will calculate, and optionally implement, density changes so as to optimize a single functional parameter of the system.


4. METHOD OF SOLUTION - The one-dimensional discrete-ordinate transport code ANISN is used to calculate flux and adjoint distributions for specified sources. The code SWIF calculates first-order estimates of the effect of material density changes on a goal functional, and from these evaluates effectiveness functions for the substitution of one material for another. Density distribution changes are then calculated which would optimize the goal functional, optionally subject to a constraint of holding another functional constant (to first order).


5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM - SWAN is not designed to analyze critical systems; it assumes that there is a fixed source, as in shielding or fusion reactor applications. Otherwise it is compatible with ANISN. All arrays are variably-dimensioned, so that there are no restrictions on individual dimensions.


6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME - It is difficult to choose a "typical" problem: the sample case executes in 6 seconds on the IBM 360/91. The bulk of the time is spent evaluating the fluxes and adjoints in ANISN.

CCC-0248/03:

NEA-DB executed the test cases on IBM 3081. Required CPU times are summarized in the following table:
                    Code      time (sec) 
                    ----      ---------- 
                    AREAD         0.10 
                    LIBMAK        0.34 
                    LIB GEN       0.12 
                    ANISN/PPL     0.65 
                    SIZERS        0.05 
                    SWAN LIB GEN  0.12 
                    SWAN-PPL      0.97 

CCC-0248/04:

NEA-DB executed the test cases included in this package on CDC CYBER 830 computer. LIBMAK required 1.3 seconds; and SWAN required 12.6 seconds of CPU time.
