A comparative study of nodal course-mesh methods for pressurized water reactors

Several computer codes based on one and two-group
diffusion theory models were developed for SHUFFLE. The
programs were developed to calculate power distributions in
a two-dimensional quarter core geometry of a pressurized power
reactor. The various coarse-mesh numerical computations for
the power calculations yield the following:
the Borresen's scheme applied to the modified one-group
power calculation came up with an improved power
distribution,
the modified Borresen's method yielded a more
accurate power calculations than the Borresen's scheme,
the face dependent discontinuity factor method have
a better prediction of the power distribution than the node
averaged discontinuity factor method,
Both the face dependent discontinuity factor method
and the modified Borresen's methods for the two-group model
have quite attractive features. / Graduation date: 1992
