Description
This PR adds support for distributed cell densities (added in #3546) in the random ray solver to enable density feedback for multiphysics applications. A cell density multiplier is tracked in each source region (ratio of the cell density to the material density), and used to correct the macroscopic cross section where required. Two new tests are added for this capability, an eigenvalue calculation (to ensure all quantities are tallied correctly) and a fixed source calculation (to ensure the division of the external source by the total cross section is performed correctly). The gold files are generated by manually scaling the cross sections by the ratio of the cell density to the material density.
