A full-scale digital reactor model is a digital twin connecting the virtual and physical worlds. It drives innovation and enhances reactor performance in modern engineering. In this presentation, the digital reactor model is developed using a combined methodology between CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), HPC (High-Performance Computing) and Big-Data. The current status of digital reactor model for nuclear energy and metallurgical industry will be given, as well as the challenges and technology gaps. Some thoughts and experiences on knowledge accumulation in modelling development through a bottom-up approach will also be shared.

Dong-Yuan Sheng.

Dong-Yuan Sheng is an adjunct professor of the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the KTH since 2018. He is also a Principal Engineer at Westinghouse Electric Sweden since 2009. Before that, he worked as a researcher at Swerea MEFOS from 1998 to 2009. He is recognized as a leading expert in modelling reactors based on his over 30-year experience. He served as a project leader and technical leader for many large national and international research consortia. He received excellent paper awards from several international conferences, as well as the George Westinghouse Signature Award (2011 and 2014). Through close collaboration with steel and nuclear power plants, his modelling works on inclusion removal, digital tundish, and full-scale PWR nuclear reactor have attracted great attention from many metallurgical and nuclear energy engineers worldwide.
