Parareal in time 3D numerical solver for the LWR Benchmark neutron diffusion transient model
We present a parareal in time algorithm for the simulation of neutron diffusion transient model. The method is made efficient by means of a coarse solver defined with large time steps and steady control rods model. Using finite element for the space discretization, our implementation provides a good scalability of the algorithm. Numerical results show the efficiency of the parareal method on la...
متن کاملA SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR ENHANCING IDA EFFICIENCY IN FRAGILITY ANALYSIS OF 3D REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAMES
Due to several uncertainties which affect structural responses of Reinforced concrete (RC) frames, it is sensibly required to apply a vulnerability analysis tool such as fragility curve. To construct an analytical fragility curve, the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method has been extensively used as an applicable seismic analysis too...
متن کاملTransient sensitivity analysis for nonlinear population models
1. Performing sensitivity analyses for deterministic multi-stage, multi-parameter population models that include nonlinearity presents a significant computational challenge. 2. We implement a standard forward sensitivity analysis to evaluate partial derivatives of population state variables with respect to parameters at all times for which the solution is known.We present a hybrid Matlab/Maple ...
متن کاملImproved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel
Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on thorium for use in tradit...
متن کاملInvestigation of PWR core optimization using harmony search algorithms
This work addresses applications of the classical harmony search (HS), improved harmony search (IHS) and the harmony search with differential mutation based pith adjustment (HSDM) to PWR core reloading pattern optimization problems. Proper loading pattern of fuel assemblies (FAs) depends on both neutronic and thermal–hydraulic aspects; obtaining optimal arrangement of fuel assemblies, FA, in a ...
