The NE Advanced Modeling and Simulation program has engaged researchers and scientists to develop new tools to analyze and optimize the performance and reliability of existing and advanced nuclear power plants. Because these tools rely more on underlying physics than on empirical models, they are more flexible, can be applicable to a wider range of operating conditions, and require less data, i.e., to validate the accuracy of the simulations, rather than the considerable amounts of data required to generate the empirical models of the traditional approach.
With advancements in nuclear engineering and associated domain sciences, computer science, high-performance computing hardware, and visualization capabilities, new multiscale/multiphysics modeling and simulation (M&S) tools are enabling scientists to gain insights into physical systems in ways not possible with traditional approaches alone. Although simulations of this type can run quickly, their use is constrained to the system and conditions for which the experiments were designed. Traditionally, the simulation of nuclear energy systems has been based on empirical models, which requires extensive experimental data.
