Popis: A high-order, nonoscillatory scheme is described which solves the transient and steady-state Boltzmann transport equation on unstructured Finite Element (FE) meshes. Flux limiters are applied in the space and time domains resulting in a scheme which is both free from oscillations and globally high-order accurate in space and time. The method described is finite volume based and uses a consistent FE representation of the solution variables to obtain a high-order solution along the control volume boundaries. Careful inspection of the eigenstructure of the Riemann problem allows one to switch smoothly between a high-order and a low-order nonoscillatory solution.
