Abstract
A temporal adaptive algorithm was developed to perform the synchronization and optimization of the performance of TRAC-BF1/NEM/COBRA-TF three-dimensional neutron/thermal-hydraulics sub-channel analysis coupled code system. The multi-level coupling scheme for time synchronization of the TRAC-BF1/NEM and COBRA-TF under PVM is developed considering the different time-step selection algorithms of TRAC-BF1, NEM and COBRA-TF codes. The developed methodology allows one to synchronize the codes in time without doing significant code modifications to the time-step selection logic of the involved codes. The advantage of this approach is that COBRA-TF can capture the nature of a given transient, without losing any time-dependent data. Results for steady state and transient calculations that show how the implemented temporal adaptive algorithm works are presented. In addition selected results are presented to illustrate dynamic behavior and the type of thermal-hydraulic boundary conditions provided by the system code.
