Abstract
The MORE framework, developed by the Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC), is a new coupling framework that integrates multiple powerful functionalities for handling input and output data from simulation codes. SHARK, also developed by NPIC, is an advanced whole core transport code that incorporates constructive solid geometry (CSG), the subgroup method, and the 2D/1D transport method. TH1D, another code developed by NPIC, is a single-channel thermal–hydraulic code that utilizes the single-channel model and one-dimensional heat conduction equation. Both SHARK and TH1D are encapsulated within the MORE framework. The coupling system generates interfaces for coupling which are controlled by a supervisor. Finally, validation of the coupling system is conducted using the VERA benchmark, with numerical results demonstrating that the MORE framework is suitable for accurate whole core coupling calculations.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
