Application of the Pathline Method to the Aircraft Reactor Experiment
Mathis Caprais, Nathan Greiner, André Bergeron
In this work, a new numerical method for the transport of Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) is applied to the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE). The pathline method is based on the…
Stochastic Method for Delayed Neutron Precursors Transport in Liquid Fuel
Mathis Caprais, Daniele Tomatis
This paper presents a novel stochastic method for modeling the transport of Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) in liquid nuclear fuel. The method incorporates advection and diffusio…
An iterative scheme to include turbulent diffusion in advective-dominated transport of delayed neutron precursors
Mathis Caprais, André Bergeron
In this study, the Method of Characteristics (MOC) for Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) is used to solve the precursors balance equation with turbulent diffusion. The diffusivity…
A new calculation method using pathlines for delayed neutron precursors in liquid nuclear fuels
Mathis Caprais, André Bergeron, Nathan Greiner +1
In nuclear reactors, Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) are important for reactor safety and operation. In liquid nuclear fuels, DNPs are transported by the flow, and an advection-r…
