Journal ArticleDOI
Multidimensional multiphysics simulation of nuclear fuel behavior
Richard L. Williamson,Jason Hales,Stephen Novascone,Michael R. Tonks,Derek Gaston,Cody J. Permann,David Andrs,Richard C. Martineau +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a new modeling tool able to simulate coupled multiphysics and multiscale fuel behavior, for either 2D axisymmetric or 3D geometries.
Journal ArticleDOI
An object-oriented finite element framework for multiphysics phase field simulations
TL;DR: In this article, the phase field partial differential equations (PDEs) are solved simultaneously together with PDEs describing additional physics, such as solid mechanics and heat conduction, using the Jacobian-free Newton Krylov Method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Derek Gaston,Cody J. Permann,John W. Peterson,Andrew E. Slaughter,David Andrs,Yaqi Wang,Michael P. Short,D. M. Perez,Michael R. Tonks,Javier Ortensi,Ling Zou,Richard C. Martineau +11 more
TL;DR: Examples based on the KAIST-3A benchmark core, as well as a simplified Westinghouse AP-1000 configuration, demonstrate the power of this new framework for tackling—in a coupled, multiscale manner—crucial reactor phenomena such as CRUD-induced power shift and fuel shuffle.

TL;DR: The MOOSE (Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment) framework as mentioned in this paper is a multiscale framework for numerical simulation of nuclear power plants that allows for a variety of different data exchanges to occur simultaneously on high performance parallel computational hardware.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen in zirconium alloys: A review
Arthur T. Motta,Laurent Capolungo,Long Qing Chen,Mahmut N. Cinbiz,Mark R. Daymond,Donald A. Koss,Evrard Lacroix,Giovanni Pastore,Pierre Clément A. Simon,Michael R. Tonks,Brian D. Wirth,Mohammed A. Zikry +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the processes of hydrogen transport, hydride precipitation and dissolution and formation of mesoscale hydrides, and highlight where more research is needed, both from an experimental and from a modeling point of view.
