Warthog: Coupling Nek5000 Thermal Hydraulics to BISON Fuel Performance through the Giraffe Interface

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

The Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program under the US Department of Energy (DOE) consists of three product lines. The Fuels Product Line (FPL), hosted at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), has produced a multiphysics framework with the name Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) (Gaston et al. 2015). The FPL has also produced several high-fidelity physics codes including the fuel performance code Bison (Hales et al. 2016). The Reactors Product Line (RPL), hosted at Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne), has developed the high-order spectral-element Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code Nek5000 (Fischer et al. 2015). The Integration Product Line (IPL), hosted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is tasked with ensuring tools from the other product lines can be coupled together so that users may perform high-fidelity multiphysics simulations.
