How to compare the neutron flux of OpenMOC and OpenMC

[wind zhou]

Hello everyone, I would like to compare the neutron flux of OpenMOC with that of OpenMC, but I have noticed some differences. The unit of flux in OpenMC is netron-cm/source, but in OpenMOC, flux is measured through sum_ G (nu_sigma_f)_ G phi_ g) =1, how to understand the units of _ Scalar_flux in code?

Hello

The unit is very arbitrary at this point.
Please think about this more in terms of normalization than unit. And
make sure OpenMC and OpenMOC use the same flux normalization to be
able to compare them.

Best,
Guillaume
