在蒙特卡罗程序中统计共轭通量并计算中子动力学参数的方法

Method of Tallying Adjoint Fluence and Calculating Kinetics Parameters in Monte Carlo Codes

  • 摘要: 文章介绍了在蒙特卡罗程序中,使用反复裂变几率的统计结果作为共轭通量的估计,并作为权重函数计算动力学参数βeffΛ的方法,阐释了在连续能量蒙特卡罗程序MCNP和多群蒙特卡罗程序MCMG中实现这种方法的过程。数值校验结果表明:在几乎不带来附加计算量的同时,在MCMG中使用该方法统计得到的共轭通量与ANISN的共轭通量计算结果符合较好,在MCNP中使用该方法计算得到的中子动力学参数与基准测量结果符合较好。在蒙特卡罗程序中实现了高效率计算中子动力学参数的功能,为蒙特卡罗程序进一步用于反应堆动态行为的分析奠定了基础。

     

    Abstract: A method of using iterated fission probability to estimate the adjoint fluence during particles simulation, and using it as the weighting function to calculate kinetics parameters βeff and Λ in Monte Carlo codes, was introduced in this paper. Implements of this method in continuous energy Monte Carlo code MCNP and multi-group Monte Carlo code MCMG are both elaborated. Verification results show that, with regardless additional computing cost, using this method, the adjoint fluence accounted by MCMG matches well with the result computed by ANISN, and the kinetics parameters calculated by MCNP agree very well with benchmarks. This method is proved to be reliable, and the function of calculating kinetics parameters in Monte Carlo codes is carried out effectively, which could be the basement for Monte Carlo codes’ utility in the analysis of nuclear reactors’ transient behavior.
