  • Currently, the pin-by-pin homogenized solvers are a very active research field as they can, unlike the nodal codes, directly predict the local power, while requiring significantly less computational resources than the heterogeneous transport codes. This paper presents a recently developed pin-by-pin diffusion/SP3 solver Tortin, its spatial discretization method and the reflector treatment. Regarding the spatial discretization, it was observed that the finite difference method applied on pin-cell size mesh does not properly capture the big flux change between MOX and uranium fuel, while the nodal expansion method is more accurate but too slow. If the finite difference method is used with a finer mesh in the outer two pin rows of the fuel assembly, it increases the required computation time by only 50%, but decreases the pin power errors below 1% with respect to lattice code reference solutions. The paper further describes the coupling of Tortin with a microscopic depletion solver. Several verification tests show that the SP3 pin-by-pin solver can reproduce the heterogeneous transport solvers results with very good accuracy, even for fuel cycle depletion of very heterogeneous core employing MOX fuel or inserted control rods, while being two orders of magnitude faster.

  • The heavy water zero power reactor (HWZPR), which is a critical assembly with a maximum power of 100 W, can be used in different lattice pitches. The last change of core configuration was from a lattice pitch of 18-20 cm. Based on regulations, prior to the first operation of the reactor, a new core was simulated with MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle)-4C and WIMS (Winfrith Improved Multigroup Scheme)-CITATON codes. To investigate the criticality of this core, the effective multiplication factor ($K_{eff}$) versus heavy water level, and the critical water level were calculated. Then, for safety considerations, the reactivity worth of $D_2O$, the reactivity worth of safety and control rods, and temperature reactivity coefficients for the fuel and the moderator, were calculated. The results show that the relevant criteria in the safety analysis report were satisfied in the new core. Therefore, with the permission of the reactor safety committee, the first criticality operation was conducted, and important physical parameters were measured experimentally. The results were compared with the corresponding values in the original core.

  • Recently, a new monkey computational phantom, called Visible Monkey, was developed for non-ionizing radiation studies in animal research. In this study, we extended its applications to ionizing radiation studies by implementing the voxel model of the Visible Monkey into three general-purpose Monte Carlo (MC) codes: MCNP6, PHITS, and Geant4. The implementation work for MCNP and PHITS was conducted using the LATTICE, UNIVERSE, and FILL cards. The G4VNestedParameterisation class was used for Geant4. Then, organ dose coefficients (DCs) for idealized photon beams in the antero-posterior direction were calculated using the three codes and compared, showing excellent agreement (differences <3%). Additionally, organ DCs in other directions (postero-anterior, left-lateral, and right-lateral) were calculated and compared with those of the newborn and 1-year-old reference phantoms. Significant differences were observed (e.g., the stomach DC of the monkey was 5-fold greater than that of the 1-year-old phantom at 0.03 MeV) while the differences tended to decrease with increasing energy (mostly <20% at 10 MeV). The results of this study allows conducting MC simulations using the Visible Monkey to estimate organ-level doses, which should be valuable to support/improve monkey experiments involving ionizing radiation exposures.

  • 전산 코-드인 LATREP, HWRAXAV 및 CITATION을 이용하여 CANDU-PHWR인 월성 1호기의 핵설계 특성 해석을 시도하였다. 계산된 주요 핵 특성은 CANDU 핵 연료봉 집합체에 대한 격자상수와 로심내의 출력 분포이며 그 계산 결과는 월성 1호기의 예비 안전성 보고시와 비교되었다. 계산치와 예비안전성 보고서에 제시된 설계치 사이의 차이점에 관해서는 예비안전성 보고서의 로심 기술에 대한 불완전한 자료와 계산 방법이 서로 다르다는 관점에서 검토되었다.

  • 프로그램 소스코드 표절 검사에 대한 기존 방법은 크게 지문(finger-print)법과 구조기반 검사법으로 나뉘며, 주로 단어의 유사성이나 발생빈도를 사용하거나 소스코드 구조상의 특징으로 두 소스간의 유사성을 비교한다. 본 연구에서는 프로그래밍 언어의 예약어 시퀀스를 사용하여 소스코드들 간의 유사성을 비교하고, 이 결과를 FCA(Formal Concept Analysis)를 통해 해석하고 시각화 하는 방법을 제시한다. 일반적인 VSM(Vector Space Model)과 같은 단일 단어 분석으로는 단어의 인접성을 구분할 수 없으므로 단어의 시퀀스 분석이 가능하도록 알고리즘을 구성하였으며 이러한 방식은 지문법의 단점인 소스코드의 부분적인 표절 탐지의 난점을 해결할 수 있고 함수의 호출 순서나 수행 순서에 상관없이 표절을 탐지할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 마지막으로 유사도 측정결과는 FCA를 이용하여 격자(lattice)로 시각화됨으로써 이용자의 이해도를 높일 수 있다.

  • Hyundai Motor Company is proposing the fourth evolution of their Hyundai Simplified Model as benchmark results for the validation of CFD codes in aeroacoustics and noise transmission to the interior of a cabin. The focus of this benchmark is on variations in noise level induced by small typical geometry changes that can be found in a car development program. This article presents the noise transmission results obtained with PowerFLOW in combination with a SEA model and shows that it is possible to capture small variations in noise level with a lattice Boltzmann method based code.

  • The purpose of this research is to develop co-simulation methodology of codes developed in different modeling and simulation environment. We develop aerodynamic FMU(Functional Mock-up Unit) meeting FMI(Functional Mock-up Interface) specification version2 utilizing Legacy FORTRAN aerodynamic code based on unsteady vortex lattice method. It is concluded that making FMU is possible utilizing Legacy code made in any language which can be compiled and linked with object in FMI API coded in C language. This paper explains QTronic's method of using FMU SDK(Software Development Kit) and suggestion for using FORTRAN properly. Finally, we make articulated rotor/aerodynamics co-simulation by integrating aerodynamics FMU and rotor FMU developed by Modelica.

  • In this work, we first present our study on the decoding schemes for space-time block code as well as our comments on their complexity. Then, we propose a new modified complex sphere decoding scheme, which has lower computational load than that of conventional complex sphere decoders. In the proposed scheme, the boundary for searching is defined by the intersection of an approximate polygon of searching circle and disk of lattice constellation. Therefore, the proposed scheme can reduce the searching boundary and it can avoid missing searching points as well. The performance of the proposed scheme, which is verified by computer simulations, consolidates our scheme.
