Fast Reactor Physics and Computational Methods

Six advanced reactor concepts have been selected for Generation-IV reactors and are being investigated worldwide to meet the challenging goals of effective resource utilization and waste minimization (sustainability), improved safety, enhanced proliferation resistance, and reduced system cost. [1] The six systems are very high temperature reactor (VHTR), sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), superc...

Verification, Validation, and Solution Quality in Computational Physics: CFD Methods Applied to Ice Sheet Physics

There are procedures and methods for verification of coding algebra and for validations of models and calculations that are in use in the aerospace computational fluid dynamics (CFD) community. These methods would be efficacious if used by the glacier dynamics modeling community. This paper is a presentation of some of those methods, and how they might be applied to uncertainty management suppo...
