In the framework of the solution of the transport equation by means of diffusion techniques, an iterative procedure is presented that permits us to calculate the point-dependent diffusion coefficient, Dk(k = x,y,z), using standard diffusion codes. Numerical comparisons show that this procedure attains a flux distribution much closer to the transport distribution after one iteration than the classical diffusion flux. The time of the calculation is about twice that required by classical diffusion.
