This article describes a new immersed body method for the efficient modelling of complex reactor physics problems. The approach is based on a projection method that maps geometric diagnostics of internal bodies onto practical computational meshes. It

The term “water boiler” reactor refers to a type of aqueous homogeneous reactor (AHR) that was designed, built and operated by Los Alamos in the 1940s. This was the first type of liquid fuelled reactor and the first to be fuelled with enriched Ur

This paper investigates the dynamics of a postulated criticality in a powder used as part of fuel processing. Numerical simulations are performed in 2D and 3D geometries in which layers of MOX, UO2 and zinc stearate (acting as a moderating lubricant)

This paper presents two new methods for discretizing the angular dimension of the Boltzmann transport equation that describes the transport of neutral particles such as neutrons and photons. Our methods represent the direction of particle travel usin

A new method for applying anisotropic resolution in the angular domain of the Boltzmann transport equation is presented. The method builds on our previous work in which two spherical wavelet bases were developed for representing the direction of neut

In this paper an adjoint- (or sensitivity-) based error measure is formulated which measures the error contribution of each solution variable to an overall goal The goal is typically embodied in an integral functional, e.g., the solution in a small r

In this paper, estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are used to solve nuclear reactor fuel management optimisation (NRFMO) problems. Similar to typical population based optimisation algorithms, e.g. genetic algorithms (GAs), EDAs maintain a p

This paper presents a space–time streamline upwind Petrov–Galerkin formulation for the time-dependent Boltzmann transport equation. Conventional linear space–time formulations typically take the distance across space–time elements as the repr
