Development of a coupling approach for multi-physics analyses of fusion reactors

An integrated multi-physics coupling system has been developed for fusion reactor systems analyses. This system has an advanced Monte Carlo (MC) modeling approach for converting complex CAD models to MC models with hybrid constructive solid and unstructured mesh geometries, and a high-fidelity coupling approach for data mapping from MC to thermal hydraulics and structural mechanics codes. The system was proven to be reliable, robust and efficient through verification calculations.
