Improvement of
core design methods for current and advanced reactor systems represents
the focus of my current research. Nuclear reactor physics theory,
on which core design methods are based, has advanced continuously
over the past six decades yet it continues to face challenges from
existing and advanced reactor systems. The challenges are of economic
nature: that is the ability of simulation tools to not only predict
basic reactor states but also perform different engineering and
research-oriented tasks that are often equally important and much
more computationally demanding than the simulation of basic reactor
states, e.g. characterization of uncertainties in reactor states
due to models and data uncertainties, identifying the main sources
of uncertainties in reactor calculations, providing guidance on
directions for future experimental program to reduce these uncertainties,
and development of robust adaptive simulation strategies to enhance
agreement between measured and predicted reactor states. Most of
the noted applications are not considered to be computationally
tractable due to the computational complexity of reactor calculations
and the voluminous size of the associated input and output data.
I am currently working on the development of Efficient Subspace
Methods, which are intended to reduce the associated computational
efforts to an acceptable level enabling the execution of some of
the noted tasks with both accuracy and efficiency. |
