The vectorial form of the neutron streaming term used in the Boltzmann equation has been derived. With the aid of this vectorial form, the explicit expression of the neutron streaming term in a generalized coordinate system can readily be obtained. Examples of applications in the orthogonal curvilinear and the elliptical-elliptical toroidal coordinate systems are given for illustration.
