title = "Interaction of computational tools for multiscale multiphysics simulation of generation-IV reactors",
abstract = "The objective of this paper is to discuss recent accomplishments in the development of advanced computer simulation capabilities for safety analyses of next-generation nuclear reactors. The proposed approach combines high performance computing with the necessary level of modeling detail and high accuracy of predictions. The results of multiscale simulations are shown of an accident scenario in a sodium-fast reactor, obtained using three interacting fluid dynamics codes, each performing simulations at a different scale: FronTier, PHASTA and NPHASE-CMFD. The loss-of-flow accident scenario results in the overheat and breach of the cladding of a stainless steel fuel, which results in the injection of pressurized fission gas into the molten sodium coolant.",
