Abstract
As a rule, mathematical modeling of dynamic processes in nuclear reactors is conducted using an approach that treats a neutron flux in the multigroup diffusion approximation. In this approach, the basic model involves a multidimensional system of coupled parabolic-type equations. Similarly to common thermal phenomena, it is possible here to separate a regular mode of nuclear reactor operation that is associated with a selfsimilar development of a neutron field at large times. In this case, the main feature of dynamic processes is a minimal eigenvalue of the corresponding spectral problem. In the present paper, calculations of various eigenvalues are performed via the two-group model and discussed for the VVER-1000 reactor without a reflector and HWR reactor.
