Delta- and surface-tracking
Revision as of 15:00, 19 November 2015 by Jaakko Leppänen (talk | contribs)
This a brief description on the delta-tracking based transport routine used in Serpent. The original delta-tracking algorithm was introduced by Woodcock in 1965,[1] and a mathematical verification was derived by Coleman in 1968.[2]
