Abstract
This paper explains the basic concept of numerical reactors, and studies in detail the international research and development (R&D) projects for numerical reactors, such as the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL), European Nuclear Reactor Simulation (NURESIM) platform, and Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program. It also presents a further study on and a summary of the current research status of multi-physics coupling and multi-scale coupling technology in China and other countries. In combination with the research status, this paper indicates that the focus of the numerical reactor technology development rests on the multi-physics coupling mechanism under the combined action of material corrosion, flow heat transfer and neutronics, and the development of high-fidelity coupling code based on unified grid solution.
