Case Studies

OSCAR introduction and reactor physics background OSCAR-5 is a nuclear reactor simulation software package. This is the first OSCAR-5 training video, as part of a series of videos to support users in the usage of the system. This first video covers some basic nuclear reactor physics, and explains how a…

Full core application tutorial Running core-follow and reload applications with OSCAR-5 In earlier tutorials, you have spent most effort in these tutorials on developing reactor models. We now depart from that somewhat, and focus on some calculational applications for real world reactor problems. As part of your OSCAR-5 distribution you…

Mini Core Heterogeneous Model Building a Reactor Model with OSCAR-5, Part 1 This tutorial will focus on the model building capabilities of OSCAR-5. The process described in the Single Assembly tutorial will be discussed in more detail, at the hand of a hypothetical new reactor. The creation of a reactor…

Single Assembly Reactor Tutorial Your First OSCAR-5 Run This tutorial acts as the first contact for new OSCAR-5 users regarding hands-on use of the modelling platform and some of the associated codes. The OSCAR-5 system uses a multi-code approach to solve reactor physics problems, and as such employs a code…

Introduction to the OSCAR-5 Interface Discussion of the OSCAR-5 code interface and how users can use and interact with the system. Introduction to basic Python environment. OSCAR-5 Benchmarks and Validation Database Brief description of the verification and validation database distributed with the OSCAR-5 system. OSCAR-5 Target Code: Nodal Solver Brief…
