Abstract
Reduced-order modeling (ROM) has been widely used to reduce the complexity of physical models by mapping full-order conservation equations to lower-order subspaces or constructing data-driven surrogate models. Compared with traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, reduced-order modeling is more computationally efficient in large-scale simulation calculations. In this study, we propose a reduced-order modeling framework under transient conditions using a combination of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and machine learning (ML), which is used to implement the transient prediction of parameters in the channel of a rod bundle. The comparison results of the two different prediction methods show that the LSTM + POD method is more suitable for analyzing the short prediction of the simple varying temperature distribution and z-direction mass flow distribution. The prediction under complex conditions and the long prediction of the z-direction mass flow distribution are not as effective as the POD + LSTM method, which can provide a solution for the prediction of other transient systems in the future.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.
Please note the following:
1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.
2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.
3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
