Neutronic and Thermal Coupled Calculations for an HTGR Pebble with Discrete Power Generation Using Serpent and OpenFOAM

The High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is characterized by a high output temperature and inherent safety due to its fuel design. However, the double heterogeneity of the reactor component structure poses a challenge in thermal analyses, where fuel temperature is a key safety parameter. In th...
