Integration of the Nek5000 Computational Fluid Dynamics Code with the NEAMS Workbench
The mission of the US Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program is to develop, apply, deploy, and support state-of-the-art predictive modeling and simulation tools for the design and analysis of current and future nuclear energy systems using computing architectures ranging from laptops to leadership-class facilities. NEAMS is organized into three product lines: the Fuels Product Line (FPL),the Reactors Product Line (RPL), and the Integration Product Line (IPL). The FPL and RPL focus on the development of high-fidelity tools such as the MOOSE-based applications BISON and MARMOT [3, 9] at Idaho National Laboratory, and the PROTEUS neutronics code and the NEK5000 computational fluid dynamics code from the Simulation-based High-efficiency Advanced Reactor Prototyping (SHARP) framework [10]. The NEAMS IPL will enable users to apply high-fidelity simulations to inform lower order models for the design, analysis, and licensing of advanced nuclear systems.
