The authors combine the fifth-order HWENO (Hermite Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory) scheme and the fast sweeping method to numerically solve the steady-state \(S_N\) Transport equations using finite volume methods. The HWENO is method is known to be more compact and produce smaller errors than the WENO method, and enjoys a simpler boundary treatment. One of the main results of this paper is to prove that the finite volume HWENO method preserves the asymptotic diffusion limit when \(\varepsilon \to 0\), where \(\varepsilon\) is the scaling parameter which represents the ratio of a particle mean free path to a characteristic scale length of the system, and has the asymptotic preserving property. Several one- and two-dimensional numerical experiments are presented to verify the accuracy, asymptotic preserving property and positivity of the proposed HWENO FSM. The proposed HWENO method can also be combined with the Diffusion Synthetic Acceleration algorithm to improve computational efficiency.
