NEUP CINR-22-26929: Physics-guided Smart Scaling Methodology for Accelerated Fuel Testing

This project proposes to employ novel informatics algorithms for mapping/scaling uncertainties from experimentally accessible scaled state to application/prototypical state, informed by an equivalent mapping obtained from high-fidelity multi-physics simulations for the fuel thermo-mechanical behavior, specifically, a rate theory-based model for thermal conductivity and fission gas behavior in the BISON code, and employing relevant HALDEN reactor and FAST experiments.
