Multiphysics coupling plan

Book ·
OSTI ID:1747016
In this chapter, multiphysics coupling simulations of nuclear reactor systems are reviewed. On the one hand, the mainstream methods of multiphysics coupling are demonstrated. The fundamental theory and coupling scheme of operator splitting methods, Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov methods, and approximate block Newton methods are summarized and presented. On the other hand, some significant works on neutronic and thermal-hydraulic codes coupling, and large research project, including NURESAFE European project, Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment plan, and Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors project, are reviewed. This chapter helps the readers have a better understanding on the worldwide current status of multiphysics coupling research.
