2019 journal article

A data-driven framework for error estimation and mesh-model optimization in system-level thermal-hydraulic simulation

NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN, 349, 27–45.

By: H. Bao*, N. Dinh n , J. Lane* & R. Youngblood*

Contributors: H. Bao*, N. Dinh n , J. Lane* & R. Youngblood*

author keywords: Coarse mesh; Error estimation; System-level modeling and simulation; Machine learning; Physical feature
topics (OpenAlex): Probabilistic and Robust Engineering Design; Model Reduction and Neural Networks; Nuclear Engineering Thermal-Hydraulics
TL;DR: A data-driven framework is formulated and demonstrated to estimate simulation error and suggest optimal selection of computational mesh size and constitutive correlations for low-f fidelity, coarse-mesh thermal-hydraulic simulation, in order to achieve accuracy comparable to that of high-fidelity simulation.
