Excellent agreement has been found between a University of Florida neutron pulse propagation experiment and a two-dimensional space-time calculation. Discrepancies previously reported between the experiments and one-dimensional WIGLE calculations are now attributed to inadequate treatment of the kinetic distortion caused by the presence of transverse reflectors.
