基于OpenMC的反应性等效物理转换方法在双重非均匀性问题中的应用

Application development of RPT module based on OpenMC for double-heterogeneous system

  • 摘要: 由于基体中有着大量随机分布的弥散颗粒,双重非均匀系统具有复杂的几何结构,传统中子学计算方法往往难以处理双重非均匀系统,反应性等效物理转换(RPT)方法是常用的近似处理方法。通过分析RPT方法的三个关键步骤:精确初始值的求解、等效半径的求解、燃耗算法的选取,探讨了各步骤采用不同算法对RPT方法效率和精度的影响,并基于OpenMC在Python应用程序接口之上开发了RPT模块。数值结果表明,优化后的RPT模块,在保持良好计算效率的同时,也能满足工程计算精度的需要。

     

    Abstract: Due to the large number of randomly distributed dispersed particles in the matrix, the double heterogeneous (DH) system has a complex geometric structure, and it is often difficult to deal with the DH system using the traditional neutronics calculation method. The reactivity equivalent physical transformation (RPT) method is a commonly used approximation method. This paper analyzes the three key steps of the RPT method: the solution of the exact initial value, the solution of the equivalent radius, and the selection of the depletion algorithm. The influence of different algorithms on the efficiency and accuracy of the RPT method is discussed. Based on OpenMC, an RPT module is developed on the Python API. The numerical results show that the optimized RPT module can meet the needs of engineering calculation accuracy while maintaining good calculation efficiency.
