CESAR Co-design Process
CESAR research is focused on the two key physics components of reactor core modeling -- computational fluid dynamics and neutron transport -- with particular focus on parameter regimes required for robust, coupled reactor core modeling. Using these methods as the focus, the goal of CESAR is two-fold:- To drive the design of future hardware architecture, system software, and applications based on the algorithmic requirements of nuclear engineering applications.
- To develop a new generation of underlying algorithms that successfully exploit exascale computing to solve significant reactor simulation problems.
