An assessment of coupling algorithms for nuclear reactor core physics simulations
This paper evaluates the performance of multiphysics coupling algorithms on a light water nuclear reactor core simulation. The simulation couples the k-eigenvalue form of the neutron transport equation with heat conduction and subchannel flow equations. We compare Picard iteration (block GaussSeidel) with multiple variants of preconditioned Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov (JFNK). The performance of...
متن کاملScalable Parallel Solution Coupling for Multi-Physics Reactor Simulation
Reactor simulation depends on the coupled solution of various physics types, including neutronics, thermal/hydraulics, and structural mechanics. This paper describes the formulation and implementation of a parallel solution coupling capability being developed for reactor simulation. The coupling process consists of mesh and coupler initialization, point location, field interpolation, and field ...

متن کاملReactor Physics Analysis of the VHTGR Core
As part of an I-NERI project to develop safety analysis codes and experimental validation for a VeryHigh Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTGR), we have developed MCNP5 [1] models to represent material heterogeneities inherent in the microsphere fuel particles and fuel compacts for a GT-MHR design [2]. We have also performed preliminary coupled nuclear-thermalhydraulic (NTH) analysis to obtain ...
