Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of reactor physics calculation, and in particular relates to a transport-burnup coupling calculation method based on dynamic modal decomposition. Background Art

[0002] During reactor operation, fuel composition changes due to neutron irradiation and the radioactive decay of the material itself. Burnup calculations aim to capture the timescale evolution of the fuel composition. Currently, most reactor burnup calculations are based on traditional transport-burnup coupled methods. This method relies on repeatedly invoking transport and burnup calculations to complete the coupled calculations over the entire burnup lifetime. Transport calculations, whether using Monte Carlo or deterministic methods, require multiple solutions to the neutron transport equation. With the development of high-fidelity models, computational costs have increased significantly, limiting their application in practical engineering calculations. To improve the efficiency of reactor transport-burnup coupled calculations, research is needed on novel coupled calculation methods based on traditional methods. These include novel transport-burnup coupled methods based on dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). However, existing DMD-based transport-burnup coupled methods can introduce significant relative errors for some nuclides as the burnup depth increases. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a transport-fuel coupling calculation method based on dynamic modal decomposition, introduce a boundary control model, and effectively reduce the frequency of transport calculations while ensuring calculation accuracy, thereby significantly improving calculation efficiency.
