Coupled neutronic-thermal-mechanical simulation of the KRUSTY heat pipe microreactor

Multiphysics analysis has become a common technique for nuclear reactor design validation, with neutronic-thermal analysis being the typical choice for understanding reactor dynamics. The concept of adding mechanical simulation such as thermal expansion to this coupling is still relatively new, howe...
