In nuclear reactors, Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) are important for reactor safety and operation. In liquid nuclear fuels, DNPs are transported by the flow, and an advection-reaction balance equation for their concentration must be…
This paper presents a novel stochastic method for modeling the transport of Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) in liquid nuclear fuel. The method incorporates advection and diffusion effects into the Monte Carlo solution of the neutron…
In this study, the Method of Characteristics (MOC) for Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) is used to solve the precursors balance equation with turbulent diffusion. The diffusivity of DNPs, significantly higher than molecular diffusivity,…
The SP3 approximation of the neutron transport equation allows improving the accuracy for both static and transient simulations for reactor core analysis compared with the neutron diffusion theory. Besides, the SP3 calculation costs are…
Neutral particle transport problems are fundamental in the modeling of energy transfer by radiation (photons) and by neutrons with many important applications. In this work, the novel ANN-MoC method for solving unidimensional neutral…
As more and more numerical and analytical solutions to the linear neutron transport equation become available, verification of numerical results is increasingly important. This presentation concerns the development of another benchmark for…
The method of characteristics (MOC) is widely used for neutron transport calculation in recent decades. However, the key problem determining whether MOC can be applied in highly heterogeneous geometry is how to combine an effective geometry…
Ion transport, often described by the Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations, is ubiquitous in electrochemical devices and many biological processes of significance. In this work, we develop conservative, positivity-preserving, energy…
The Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) is one of the six GEN-IV reactor designs. In the MSFR, the liquid fuel is the coolant, which moves throughout the primary circuit. This complex phenomenology requires multiphysics modeling. In the present…
This paper continues our treatment of the Neutron Transport Equation (NTE) building on the work in [arXiv:1809.00827v2], [arXiv:1810.01779v4] and [arXiv:1901.00220v3], which describes the flux of neutrons through inhomogeneous fissile…
In this paper the simplified double-spherical harmonics SDPN, approximation of the neutron transport equation is proposed. The SDPN equations are derived from the multi-group DPN equations for N=1,2,3 (comparable to the SP3, SP5, and SP7…
This paper describes an efficient and nonlinearly consistent parallel solution methodology for solving coupled nonlinear thermal transport problems that occur in nuclear reactor applications over hundreds of individual 3D physical…
The method of discrete ordinates ($S_N$) is a popular choice for the solution of the neutron transport equation. It is however well known that it suffers from slow convergence of the scattering source in optically thick and diffusive media,…
The multigroup neutron transport criticality calculations using modern supercomputers have been widely employed in a nuclear reactor analysis for studying whether or not a system is self-sustaining. However, the design and development of…
Interactions of protons with nuclei are modeled in a form that is suitable for Monte Carlo simulation of proton transport. The differential cross section (DCS) for elastic collisions of protons with neutral atoms is expressed as the product…
Circulating-fuel reactors (CFRs) lose reactivity when delayed-neutron precursors (DNPs) drift out of the core and may regain part of it when the fuel re-enters the core. This paper formulates a physics-based description of both effects by…
Data packet routing in aeronautical ad-hoc networks (AANETs) is challenging due to their high-dynamic topology. In this paper, we invoke deep learning (DL) to assist routing in AANETs. We set out from the single objective of minimizing the…
