Abstract

Verification is the primary means to access the accuracy and reliability of numerical simulation codes. There are many methods to accomplish the verification procedure for a computation code, e.g., classical analytic solutions, method of manufactured solutions and benchmark solutions. These methods have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages and consequently they are used to verify different aspects of the target code. JSNT-S is a discrete ordinates transport code and it is being under active development. In order to perform comprehensive numerical algorithm verification on JSNT-S as far as possible, all the mentioned methods with the addition of some experimental solutions are organized to form one test set based on complexities of the calculation models and is named as "AMBER". Using AMBER, JSNT-S has been verified and several mistakes and coding bugs have been discovered and corrected. An interesting phenomenon related to one-dimensional and three-dimensional quadrature sets that encountered during the verification process is properly dealt with and discussed. A series of practice has proved that AMBER is very useful for algorithm verification and finally it can also be used on other deterministic transport codes to serve program development and verification.
