Compression and Visualization of the Operational Parameters Archive

Abstract

This article describes the mathematical apparatus for express analysis of the archive of operational parameters. The developed algorithms based on the methods of reducing the dimension of the space of variables and the “Chernoff Faces” method allow visualizing the dynamics of changes in generalized limiting parameters, as well as visually determining the approximation or intersection of permitted values by parameters, which in turn can provide scientific and practical use in improving quality of operational personnel work and analysis of situations requiring additional attention and more detailed analysis.

Visualization of the Neutron Fields Behavior According to the Operational Archives of the Nuclear Reactor RBMK

“…In this work, deformation means the deviation of the neutron field at time t from a certain initial field at time t = 0. In accordance with the method for determining the "natural" functions of the reactor [4,12,13], at the first stage, a standard Fourier expansion in terms of the eigenfunctions of a known boundary value problem is set, for example, for a homogeneous cylinder-shaped reactor. In order to simplify calculations in this work, the initial set is taken in the form…”
