199 Assembly Homogenized ABTR Core Viewed Using RGG Nuclear GUI
RGG is an open source tool for generating several types of nuclear reactor assembly/core geometry and mesh. Two specific mesh operations implemented as per the graph-based approach are AssyGen and CoreGen. Reactor core model generation can be broken into three steps: assembly geometry creation (AssyGen), assembly meshing (AssyGen+CUBIT/MeshKit-Algorithms) and core mesh creation (CoreGen).
OUTLINE:
- Introduction to MeshKit
- MeshKit design philosophy
- Graph-based mesh generation technique
- Details and examples of algorithms and tools available in MeshKit
- RGG’s 3-stage reactor core geometry and mesh generation technique
- AssyGen program details and options
- CoreGen program details and options
- Using RGG Nuclear GUI:
-a. Load existing RGG models, this includes KAIST PWR, 1/6th VHTR and other simple test examples
-b. Create a rectangular assembly and core model from scratch (AssyGen/CoreGen input file creation)
-c. Create a hexagonal assembly and core model from scratch (AssyGen/CoreGen input file creation)
-d. Running RGG tool chain to create the meshes and load to check material and boundary conditions available in the model
