NEUP DECP-24-32279: Development of Computational Methods for Neutron Noise Analysis: Improving Modeling and Understanding of Perturbations in Light Water Reactors

Vibrational perturbations in nuclear reactors lead to perturbations in the static neutron flux. In order to identify the location and type of vibration, we need special computational tools to simulate their effects on the flux. Such simulations are often done in the frequency domain, and the solution is therefore a complex quantity. This project aims to transform our understanding of these perturbations through advancing current Monte Carlo methods to simulate these phenomena.
