DYN3D and CTF Coupling within a Multiscale and Multiphysics Software Development (Part II)

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Traditionally, the complex coupled physical phenomena in nuclear reactors has resulted in them being treated separately or, at most, simplistically coupled in between within nuclear codes.

Verification of the code DYN3D for calculations of neutron flux fluctuations

open access: yesAnnals of Nuclear Energy, 2022
Abstract Insufficiently explained magnitudes and patterns of flux fluctuation observed mainly in KWU PWRs are recently investigated by various European institutions. Among the numerical tools used to investigate the neutron flux fluctuations is the time-domain reactor dynamics code DYN3D. As DYN3D and comparable codes have not been developed with the

Hybrid microscopic depletion model in nodal code DYN3D [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Nuclear Energy, 2016
Abstract The paper presents a general hybrid method that combines the micro-depletion technique with correction of micro- and macro-diffusion parameters to account for the spectral history effects. The fuel in a core is subjected to time- and space-dependent operational conditions (e.g. coolant density), which cannot be predicted in advance. However,

Explicit decay heat calculation in the nodal diffusion code DYN3D [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Nuclear Energy, 2018
The residual radioactive decay heat plays an important role in some accident scenarios and, therefore, needs to be accurately calculated when performing accident analyses. The current reactor simulation codes used for accident analysis account for the residual decay heat by means of simplified models.
