  • Numerical techniques for coupled neutronic/thermal hydraulic nuclear reactor calculations

    Creator:
    Betts, Curt M.
    Abstract:
    The solution of coupled neutronic/thermal hydraulic nuclear reactor calculations requires the treatment of the nonlinear feedback induced by the thermal hydraulic dependence of the neutron cross sections. As a result of these nonlinearities, current solution techniques often diverge during the iteration process. These instabilities arise due to the low level...
