Development of a Single-Phase, Transient, Subchannel Code, within the MOOSE Multi-Physics Computational Framework

Abstract: Subchannel codes have been widely used for thermal-hydraulics analyses in nuclear reactors. This paper details the development of a novel subchannel code within the Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Multi-physics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE). MOOSE is a parallel computational framework targeted at the solution of systems of coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations, that often arise in the simulation of nuclear processes. As such, it includes codes/modules able to solve the multiple l… Show more

“…For this purpose, Pronghorn implements engineering scale algorithms such as porous flow and subchannel methods [3]. The subchannel method [4] is made available by a separate code package [5,6] under MOOSE that is organized as git submodule of Pronghorn. Pronghorn uses MOOSE's finite volume (FV) capabilities for discretizing the balance equations for mass, momentum, energy, and passive scalars [7].…”
