Comparative analysis of neutronics/thermal-hydraulics multi-scale coupling for LWR analysis
The aim of the research described in this paper is to perform consistent comparative analyses of two different approaches for coupling of two-scale, two-physics phenomena in reactor core calculations. The physical phenomena of interest are the neutronics and the thermal-hydraulics core behaviors and their interactions, while the spatial scales are the “global” (assembly/channel-wise) and the “l...
متن کاملThermal Hydraulics Design Limits
The following discussion of PWR steady state and transient design limits is extracted from the theses of Carter Shuffler and Jarrod Trant while the BWR discussion is extracted from Paolo Ferroni's thesis (covers steady state only). These limits are a simplified and narrower discussion than the relevant NRC standard review plan you will also be referred to. All materials are directly extracted f...
متن کاملHigh-accuracy alternating segment explicit-implicit method for the fourth-order heat equation
Based on a group of new Saul’yev type asymmetric difference schemes constructed by author, a high-order, unconditionally stable and parallel alternating segment explicit-implicit method for the numerical solution of the fourth-order heat equation is derived in this paper. The truncation error is fourth-order in space, which is much more accurate than the known alternating segment explicit-impli...
متن کاملSySTEMA SYstem & Safety Tool for Executing Model-Based Analyses
This paper presents SySTEMA, an innovative approach to perform Safety Analyses on complex systems, based on the modelling of their functionalities, behaviors and architecture. System safety analysis techniques are well known and are extensively used during the design of safety-critical systems. Since these analyses are highly subjective and dependent on the skill of the practitioner, it is unli...
متن کاملAppendix 1 Thermal Hydraulics, Draft for Comment
Several different fuel failure criteria have been used in previously NRC-sponsored SFP accident studies. Benjamin, et. al. used the onset of runaway fuel clad oxidation as the fuel failure criterion in NUREG/CR-0649 [Ref. 1]. This criterion was criticized because clad rupture can occur at a relatively low temperature causing a gap release. The consequences of gap release can be significant if t...
