Abstract: We consider in this paper the initial-boundary value problem for the 1D neutron transport equation with isotropic scattering, set in some bounded interval with inflow boundary conditions. The usual parabolic scaling yields the diffusive limit. A surrogate model, coupling transport and diffusion equations, is then introduced in order to accurately assess the value of specific quantities of interest. The control of the quality of the computation (with respect to such a quantity of interest) is performed by means of an approach for modeling error estimation combined with an adaptive strategy to control the surrogate model, if necessary.
