Diffusive Limit with Geometric Correction of Unsteady Neutron Transport Equation

Abstract

We consider the diffusive limit of an unsteady neutron transport equation in a two-dimensional plate with one-speed velocity. We show the solution can be approximated by the sum of interior solution, initial layer, and boundary layer with geometric correction. Also, we construct a counterexample to the classical theory in \cite{Bensoussan.Lions.Papanicolaou1979} which states the behavior of solution near boundary can be described by the Knudsen layer derived from the Milne problem.
