Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear reactor core computing technology, and in particular to a deep learning computing method for ultrafine group resonance self-screen in a uniform system. Background Technology
[0002] Resonant self-shield calculation is a key area in reactor physics analysis and core design, providing an important effective cross section for neutron transport calculations. Solving the neutron moderation equation is the core step in resonant self-shield calculation. Currently, commonly used resonance calculation methods include equivalent theory and subgroup methods, which have high computational efficiency and are widely used. However, because equivalent theory uses a series of simplified models for specific geometries, it lacks the ability to handle complex geometries; and subgroup methods often encounter numerical instability problems when generating subgroup parameters.
[0003] Meanwhile, among traditional resonant self-shield calculation methods, the hyperfine group method is recognized as a high-precision method. It solves the moderating equations in extremely detailed energy group structures to obtain an accurate modulated energy spectrum that approximates continuous energy, and has unique advantages in energy spectrum adaptability and handling of resonant interference effects. In particular, the technique of combining the hyperfine group method with the method of characteristics (MOC) developed in recent years can handle complex geometric effects on an almost continuous energy structure, making this method often the calculation benchmark for other multi-group methods. However, current hyperfine group methods still have difficulties such as low computational efficiency and limitations in handling geometric forms. They are mainly used for generating resonant integrals, benchmark calculations of multi-group resonant methods under specific conditions, and cross-section correction in local regions, and have not yet been directly applied to large-scale reactor core engineering design.
[0004] Currently, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, deep learning-based numerical methods for solving differential equations have made significant progress, achieving remarkable results in solving neutron diffusion and transport equations in reactor physics. These methods also demonstrate a series of potential advantages in areas such as the integrity of the governing equation model, the discretization of meshless equations, and the continuity of computational results. This provides a new technical approach for hyperfine group resonance self-screen computation. Preliminary research has been conducted on using deep learning methods for resonance self-screen computation. The main technical approach involves forming a machine learning proxy model for resonance self-screen computation through a data-driven method, thereby accelerating computation. However, this approach requires prior access to computational results from traditional methods as machine learning samples for deep learning, which has certain limitations.
[0005] To address this, this invention employs deep learning computational methods to directly solve the sub-moderation equation in an infinitely uniform system. It proposes a variable-order iterative deep learning method for combining functions, which multiplies the moderated energy spectrum by the total cross section to form a combined function. This reduces the impact of the high-frequency oscillation characteristics of the moderated energy spectrum on the numerical approximation performance of the neural network function, thus establishing a novel method for numerically solving the moderated equation of a uniform system. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a deep learning-based computational method for hyperfine group resonance self-screen in uniform systems. This method combines the PINN method driven by a physical model with the hyperfine group method for traditional resonance self-screen computation. It employs variable-order iterative deep learning with a combined function, multiplying the moderated energy spectrum by the total cross section to form a combined function. This reduces the impact of the high-frequency oscillation characteristics of the moderated energy spectrum on the numerical approximation performance of the neural network function, enabling the solution of the neutron moderated equation in uniform systems. This allows for the computation of the moderated energy spectrum under resonant interference conditions, providing a new technical approach for reactor resonance self-screen computation.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A deep learning computation method for hyperfine group resonance self-screen in a uniform system includes the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Upgrade the scattering source integral term in the neutron moderation equation to a fully differential form to obtain the fully differential form of the neutron moderation equation; map the neutron flux and the upgraded scattering source integral term in the fully differential form of the neutron moderation equation to neural network functions respectively.
[0010] Step 2: Substitute the neural network function as a trial function into the neutron slowing equation and the original function transformation equation in the complete differential form to obtain the loss function of the neutron slowing equation and the damage function of the original function transformation equation; construct the boundary value constraint loss function of the scattering source original function, the energy initial condition loss function, and the flux density non-negative boundary condition loss function.
[0011] Step 3: Weight the loss functions of the neutron slowing equation, the transformation equation, the boundary value constraint, the initial energy condition, and the flux density non-negative boundary condition to form a machine learning loss function.
[0012] Step 4: Iterate deep machine learning by alternating the parameters of the neural network function according to the machine learning loss function;
[0013] Step 5: Based on Step 4, the entire training set is divided into smaller training sets, and training is performed sequentially from high to low energy levels. The training set of the previous energy group serves as the boundary condition for the next energy group, thus achieving a piecewise solution to the neutron moderation equation.
[0014] As one possible approach, in step one, each nuclide corresponds to two neural network functions: one is a neural network function for the neutron moderation equation in fully differential form, and the other is a neural network function for the nuclide antiderivative transformation equation; for each additional nuclide, there will be an additional neural network function for the antiderivative transformation equation.
[0015] As one feasible approach, the homogeneous system is an infinitely homogeneous system. In step one, the neutron moderation equation is a combined function of the neutron reaction cross section and the neutron flux density:
[0016]
[0017] The scattering source integral term in the neutron moderation equation is elevated to a fully differential form using the Newton-Leibniz formula, yielding the fully differential form of the neutron moderation equation:
[0018]
[0019] Where, ∑ t denoted as neutron reaction cross-section function, φ as neutron flux density function, and k as the numbering of multiple nuclides; N k Let σ be the nucleon density of nuclide k. s,k For the microelastic scattering cross section of nuclide k, σ s,k For the scattering cross section, a k α is the value of nuclide k; u is the logarithmic energy decrease, and u′ is the integrand logarithmic energy decrease.
[0020] As one possible approach, in step one, the neural network function is a fully connected deep neural network function:
[0021] N(x)=f(x,w,b,l,n) (3)
[0022] Where N(x) is the output vector of the neural network; x is the input vector of the neural network, including the neutron slowing equation, the antiderivative transformation equation, the boundary value constraint of the antiderivative of the scattering source, the initial energy condition, and the non-negative flux density boundary condition; w is the connection weight of the neural network; b is the bias term of the neural network; l is the depth of the neural network; n is the number of hidden neurons in the neural network; and f is the activation function.
[0023] As one feasible approach, the constraint equations for solving the neutron moderation equations are as follows:
[0024]
[0025] As one possible approach, the loss function of the neutron moderation equation is:
[0026]
[0027] Where i represents the sample points required for machine learning, generated according to a certain probability density distribution method.
[0028] As one possible approach, the loss function of the original function transformation equation is:
[0029]
[0030] Among them, the range of values for machine learning samples in equation (12) is the same as that in equation (11).
[0031] As one feasible approach, the boundary value constraint loss function of the scattering source primitive function is:
[0032]
[0033] As one feasible approach, the energy initial condition loss function is:
[0034]
[0035] Where j represents machine learning sample points between 0 < u < u0.
[0036] As one possible approach, the flux density nonnegative boundary condition loss function is:
[0037]
[0038] In the formula, abs() is the absolute value function.
[0039] As one possible approach, this involves the neural network N corresponding to the combination function M(u). M (x u We select the slowing equation and the corresponding boundary condition loss function for weighting to obtain the weighted single loss function:
[0040]
[0041] In the formula, These are the weights corresponding to the loss function of the neutron slowing equation, the loss function of the initial energy condition, and the loss function of the nonnegative boundary condition, respectively, and their values are determined based on experimental and empirical coefficients.
[0042] As one feasible approach, different neural network functions corresponding to the original function equation of the scattering source are used. By selecting the corresponding original function transformation equation, determining the solution constraints, initial energy conditions, and nonnegative boundary conditions, and constructing the weighted loss function, we obtain:
[0043]
[0044] In the formula, These are the weights corresponding to the loss function of the original function transformation equation for the integral term corresponding to nuclide k, the loss function of the constraint of the deterministic solution, the loss function of the initial energy condition, and the loss function of the nonnegative boundary condition.
[0045] As one possible approach, in equation (19), if multiple outputs of the same neural network are used to represent F corresponding to different nuclides... k,0 If (u), then the overall loss function is expressed as:
[0046]
[0047] As one possible approach, in step one, equation (4) is applied with respect to... 1 The integral term of H is processed, and the logarithmic energy drop u0 of the upper limit of the energy at the highest point of the solution domain is used as the dividing point. 1 Decomposing the integral term of H, we get:
[0048]
[0049] Simplifying the first term by removing the constant term inside the integral sign, we finally only have e remaining below the integral sign. u′ This term can be directly integrated to obtain an analytical solution; from equation (21), the loss function of the neutron moderation equation can be obtained as:
[0050]
[0051] The remaining loss functions remain unchanged.
[0052] As one feasible approach, in actual training, it is assumed that the logarithmic energy reduction range of the m-th group is u. m-1 :u m B m-1 For u m-2 :u m-1 A constant within a range; represented by N φ,m and N k,0,m Let the neural network function represent the m-th group, then the boundary condition loss function is:
[0053]
[0054] In the formula, j represents the sample points required for machine learning.
[0055] As one possible approach, the boundary condition loss functions (24) and (25) are replaced with the initial energy conditions and the original function boundary value constraint functions and weighted to obtain the result for...

[0058] In the formula, P φ ,P b,φ ,P φ-abs ,P p ,P b,F,k ,P p-abs-k These are the weights of the corresponding loss function, where Loss p-all-k This assumes the existence of multiple antiderivatives, that is, the number of nuclides is greater than or equal to 2.
[0059] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:
[0060] This invention presents a deep learning-based computational method for hyperfine group resonance self-screen in uniform systems. It combines the PINN method driven by a physical model with the traditional hyperfine group method for resonance self-screen computation. A variable-order iterative deep learning method using a combinatorial function is employed. The moderated energy spectrum is multiplied by the total cross-section to form a combinatorial function, reducing the impact of high-frequency oscillations in the moderated energy spectrum on the numerical approximation performance of the neural network function.

[0080] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.
[0081] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0082] This embodiment provides a deep learning computation method for hyperfine group resonance self-screen in a uniform system, including the following steps:
[0083] Step 1: Upgrade the scattering source integral term in the neutron moderation equation to a fully differential form to obtain the fully differential form of the neutron moderation equation; map the neutron flux and the upgraded scattering source integral term in the fully differential form of the neutron moderation equation to neural network functions respectively.
[0084] Step 2: Substitute the neural network function as a trial function into the neutron slowing equation and the original function transformation equation in the complete differential form to obtain the loss function of the neutron slowing equation and the damage function of the original function transformation equation; construct the boundary value constraint loss function of the scattering source original function, the energy initial condition loss function, and the flux density non-negative boundary condition loss function.
[0085] Step 3: Weight the loss functions of the neutron slowing equation, the transformation equation, the boundary value constraint loss function of the scattering source original function, the initial energy condition loss function, and the flux density non-negative boundary condition loss function to form a unified machine learning loss function.
[0086] Step 4: Iterate deep machine learning by alternating the parameters of the neural network function according to the machine learning loss function;
[0087] Step 5: Based on step 4, the entire training set is divided into smaller training sets with appropriate data sizes, and the sets are trained sequentially from high to low energy levels. The training set of the previous energy group serves as the boundary condition for the next energy group, thus enabling the piecewise solution of the neutron slowing equation.
[0088] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, in step one, one nuclide corresponds to two neural network functions, one of which is a neural network function for the neutron moderation equation in fully differential form, and the other is a neural network function for the nuclide antiderivative transformation equation; for each additional nuclide, there will be one more neural network function for the antiderivative transformation equation.
[0089] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, the homogeneous system is an infinitely homogeneous system. In step one, the neutron moderation equation is a combined function of the neutron reaction cross section and the neutron flux density:
[0090]
[0091] Where, ∑ t denoted as neutron reaction cross-section function, φ as neutron flux density function, and k as the numbering of multiple nuclides; N k Let σ be the nucleon density of nuclide k. s,k For the microelastic scattering cross section of nuclide k, σ s,k Let u be the scattering cross section, u be the logarithmic energy drop, u′ be the integrand's logarithmic energy drop, and a be the scattering cross section. k Let α be the value of nuclide k; the expression for the logarithmic energy drop is as follows:
[0092]
[0093] The key neutronographic characteristic of resonant self-screening calculations lies in the dramatic fluctuations in the neutron reaction cross-section within the resonance energy range, especially for larger atomic-weight nuclides commonly found in reactors. Near certain energy points, a peak-like shape can be observed in the neutron reaction cross-section, with fluctuations spanning several orders of magnitude. Due to the presence of the resonance peak in the neutron reaction cross-section, the probability of neutrons reacting near this energy point is very high, while the corresponding neutron flux often exhibits a trough, resulting in a very low neutron reaction rate at this point—a phenomenon known as resonant self-screening. Figure 1 The changes in the total transport cross section and the moderation energy spectrum of a uniform system with energy are given, and the resonance peaks of the total cross section and the corresponding neutron moderation energy spectrum can be observed.
[0094] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the size of the neutron reaction cross section of a resonant nuclide is inversely proportional to the neutron flux density. That is, when the neutron reaction cross section is large, the neutron flux density is usually small, while where there is no resonance peak in the corresponding neutron reaction cross section, the neutron flux density is relatively large. For the neutron slowing equation in an infinitely homogeneous system, multiplying the neutron reaction cross section function and the neutron flux density function yields a combined function M(u) that includes both the neutron reaction cross section and the neutron flux density:
[0095] M(u)=Σ t (u)φ(u) (2)
[0096] The degree of fluctuation in the amplitude of the combination function M(u) relative to the neutron reaction cross-section function Σ t (u) and neutron flux density function φ t (u) The fluctuation of amplitude will be greatly reduced, thus reducing the adverse effects of slowed-down high-frequency energy spectrum features during deep learning solution.
[0097] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, in step one, the scattering source integral term in the neutron moderation equation is upgraded to a fully differential form using the Newton-Leibniz formula, resulting in the fully differential form of the neutron moderation equation. Specifically, this includes the following steps:
[0098] The scattering source integral term in the neutron moderation equation is:
[0099]
[0100] The neutron flux density function φ(u′) and nucleon density N in equation (4) k , scattering cross section σ s,k If (u′) is continuous, then the integrand under the integral sign is also continuous, and there exists an antiderivative F of integration with respect to u′. k (u′), whose derivative with respect to u′ is:
[0101]
[0102] Alternatively, from the Newton-Leibniz formula, we have:
[0103]
[0104] In equation (6), the original function F k (u) is not deterministic; it consists of a family of functions with equal derivatives, and the original function F needs to be determined. k (u) The specific form of equation (6) is required to obtain a solution, and F is given. k (u) A concise and deterministic constraint condition:
[0105] u=0,F k,0 (0)=0 (7)
[0106] Therefore, substituting equations (6) and (7) into equation (1) yields the neutron moderation equation in fully differential form:
[0107]
[0108] In this embodiment, as one possible implementation method, in step one, the neural network function is a fully connected deep neural network function:
[0109] N(x)=f(x,w,b,l,n) (3)
[0110] Where N(x) is the output vector of the neural network; x is the input vector of the neural network, including the neutron slowing equation, the antiderivative transformation equation, the boundary value constraint of the antiderivative of the scattering source, the initial energy condition, and the non-negative flux density boundary condition; w is the connection weight of the neural network; b is the bias term of the neural network; l is the depth of the neural network; n is the number of hidden neurons in the neural network; and f is the activation function.
[0111] The neutron moderation equation is a simplified neutron transport equation. Referring to methods for solving neutron transport equations, its boundaries typically include total reflection boundaries, vacuum boundaries, zero boundaries, and non-negative boundaries, and are usually treated as conventional equations. It should be noted that since homogeneous systems lack geometric and angular variables, the corresponding neutron moderation equation does not have geometric or angular boundaries. However, because the neutron moderation equation is a time-delay equation, the moderation energy spectrum at the highest energy level in its solution domain affects the solution. Therefore, initial conditions should be set for the highest energy point to facilitate the solution of the neutron moderation equation.
[0112] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, referring to the traditional hyperfine group calculation method, the energy spectrum from the logarithmic energy drop reference point to the highest energy starting boundary point of the neutron moderation equation is set to a fixed value C0. This means that the moderation energy spectrum in the energy range above the boundary point u0 is set to be equal, and the energy range Σ... t (u), σ s,k (u) The cross-sectional data is also set to the cross-sectional data at u0, that is:
[0113] φ(u)=C0,∑ t (u)=∑ t (u0),σ s,k (u)=σ s,k (u0), 0 < u < u0 (9)
[0114] Rearranging equation (9) and substituting it into the combination function, we obtain the set of constraint equations for solving the neutron moderation equation:
[0115]
[0116] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, the loss function of the neutron slowing equation is obtained through the following steps:
[0117] Let N M (x u )=M(u), Where, x u The input variable for the neural network represents the logarithmic energy drop of the neutron moderation equation;
[0118] N M (x u )=M(u), Substituting the first term into equation (10), we obtain the loss function of the neutron slowing equation in residual form:
[0119]
[0120] Where i represents the sample points required for machine learning, which can be generated according to a certain probability density distribution method.
[0121] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, the loss function of the original function transformation equation is obtained through the following steps:
[0122] For the second term of equation (10), let N Fk,0 (x u ) = F k,0 (u), thus obtaining the loss function of the original function transformation equation:
[0123]
[0124] Among them, the range of values for machine learning samples in equation (12) is the same as that in equation (11).
[0125] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, the boundary value constraint loss function of the scattering source primitive function is obtained through the following steps:
[0126] For the third term of equation (10), let The bounded loss function of the scattering source primitive function is obtained:
[0127]
[0128] The neutron moderation equation addresses the energy spectrum solution of the resonance energy group. Due to the characteristics of the time-delay equation, initial conditions above the highest energy in the solution domain must be considered. In this embodiment, as one possible approach, referring to the fourth term of equation (10), the corresponding loss function is:
[0129]
[0130] In the formula, j represents machine learning sample points between 0 < u < u0;
[0131] Correspondingly for the original function F k,0 (u), according to the second term of equation (10), its corresponding loss function is:
[0132]
[0133] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, for the flux density and original function of the moderated energy spectrum to be non-negative, the corresponding boundary condition corresponds to the last term of equation (10), and its loss function is:
[0134]
[0135] In the formula, abs() is the absolute value function.
[0136] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, the neural network N corresponding to the combination function M(u) is... M (x u We select the slowing equation and the corresponding boundary condition loss function for weighting to obtain the weighted single loss function:
[0137]
[0138] In the formula, These are the weights corresponding to the loss function of the neutron slowing equation, the loss function of the initial energy condition, and the loss function of the nonnegative boundary condition, respectively, and their values are generally determined based on experimental and empirical coefficients.
[0139] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, different neural network functions corresponding to the original function equation of the scattering source are used. By selecting the corresponding original function transformation equation, determining the solution constraints, initial energy conditions, and nonnegative boundary conditions, and constructing the weighted loss function, we obtain:
[0140]
[0141] In the formula, These are the weights corresponding to the loss function of the original function transformation equation for the integral term corresponding to nuclide k, the loss function of the constraint of the deterministic solution, the loss function of the initial energy condition, and the loss function of the nonnegative boundary condition.
[0142] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, in equation (19), if multiple outputs of the same neural network represent F corresponding to different nuclides... k,0 If (u), then the overall loss function is expressed as:
[0143]
[0144] for 1 H, since its α is close to 0, leads to equation (4) regarding 1 The lower bound of the integral term of H tends to -∞, and directly solving it using the deep learning method described above will lead to non-convergence of the training results. In this embodiment, as one possible approach, in step one, equation (4) is modified with respect to... 1 The integral term of H is processed to facilitate deep learning training;
[0145] Using the logarithmic energy drop u0 of the upper limit of the energy at the highest point of the solution domain as the dividing point 1 Decomposing the integral term of H, we get:
[0146]
[0147] For integral terms below the upper limit of the logarithmic energy integral, since the flux transformation is relatively gentle, the microscopic scattering cross section and flux can be directly solved by taking the value of the upper limit of the highest energy of the solution domain.
[0148] Therefore, the first term can be simplified by removing the constant term inside the integral sign, leaving only e below the integral sign. u′ This term can be directly integrated to obtain an analytical solution; from equation (21), the loss function of the neutron moderation equation can be obtained as:
[0149]
[0150] The remaining loss functions remain unchanged.
[0151] Since full-scale training would require too much data for training at once, resulting in low training accuracy, and the current training equipment performance does not support training large datasets, in this embodiment, in step five, a segmented training method is used to solve the uniform multi-nucleus neutron slowing equation. That is, the entire training set is divided into small training sets with appropriate data volume, and training is performed sequentially from high to low energy level. The training set of the previous energy group serves as the boundary condition for the next energy group, thereby solving the uniform multi-nucleus neutron slowing equation.
[0152] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, in step five, during the deep learning solution process, the solution method for the first group is the same as in step three. Starting from the second group, the initial energy conditions and the original function boundary value constraint functions are changed to boundary condition loss functions determined by the previous group.
[0153] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, during actual training, it is assumed that the logarithmic energy reduction range of the m-th group is u. m-1 :u m B m-1 For u m-2 :u m-1 A constant within a certain range. Using N φ,m and N k,0,m Let the neural network function represent the m-th group, then the boundary condition loss function is:
[0154]
[0155] In the formula, j represents the sample points required for machine learning, which can be generated according to a certain probability density distribution, or generated using different density distribution strategies based on the form of the equation.
[0156] In this embodiment, as one possible approach, the boundary condition loss functions (24) and (25) are replaced with the initial energy conditions and the original function boundary value constraint functions and weighted to obtain the result for...
