  • Principles for the application of Bifurcation Theory for the systematic analysis of nuclear reactor stability, Part1: Theory
    Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2019
    Co-Authors: D. Hennig, Carsten Lange, Rizwan-uddin, A. Dokhane, Alexander Knospe
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article is an introduction and motivational contribution for the special issue “Nuclear Reactors and related nonlinear systems: Aspects of efficient modeling and stability analysis”. The authors aim to demonstrate the performance of the systematic Bifurcation analysis for the stability analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems such as nuclear and thermal-hydraulic systems. In a first part, the motivation of this approach is explained in detail (part 1: Theory) and the authors provide some mathematical basics, which are necessary in order to understand the results of 3 examples of the application of Bifurcation Theory which will be discussed in more detail in part 2 (Applications, Progress in Nuclear Energy 113 (2019) 263-280). In this context, we would also like to point to the importance of modern methods of model order reduction (MOR) and the relationship between mathematically optimized reduced order models (ROMs) and simplified dynamical models. To represent the benefits of the Bifurcation Theory for our purposes compactly, already published results of earlier works were selected and partly new interpreted and revised on the advanced knowledge level. The conclusions are the result of work in this field in recent years and should be a basis of discussion for the future work of the community.

  • Stability Analysis of BWRs Using Bifurcation Theory
    Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Masashi Tsuji, Katsuhisa Nishio, Masakuni Narita, Yuichi Ogawa, Michitsugu Mori
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper presents a new approach using the Bifurcation Theory for the stability analysis of BWRs. In this approach, the dependencies of the equilibrium states on the parameters that have a large influence on the stability are investigated topological over a wide range of phase space. The stability information can be derived from the analysis of the Bifurcation phenomena on the equilibrium states. This investigation enabled us to obtain qualitative and global information on the stability of a nonlinear system. The new approach was applied to the analysis of the stability associated with in-phase power oscillation (core reactivity stability). The loss of linear stability took place at a lower reactor power as the coolant flow rate decreased, and this instability occurs at the Hopf Bifurcation point. The sensitivity analysis of the stability boundary for the various parameters revealed that the channel hydrodynamics heavily play a significant role in the stability. The Hopf Bifurcation analysis pr...

  • Using Bifurcation Theory for Exploring Pain
    Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2019
    Co-Authors: Parul Verma, Achim Kienle, Dietrich Flockerzi, Doraiswami Ramkrishna
    Abstract:

    Pain is a common sensation that inescapably arises due to injuries as well as various diseases and disorders. However, for the same intensity of disturbance arising due to the foregoing causes, the threshold for pain sensation and perception varies among individuals. Here, we present a computational approach using Bifurcation Theory to understand how the pain sensation threshold varies and how it can be controlled, the threshold being quantified by the electrical activity of a pain-sensing neuron. To this end, we explored the Bifurcations arising from a mathematical model representing the dynamics of this neuron. Our findings indicate that the Bifurcation points are sensitive to specific model parameters. This demonstrates that the pain sensation threshold can change, as shown in experimental studies found in literature. Further investigation using our Bifurcation approach coupled with experimental studies can facilitate rigorous understanding of the pain response mechanism and provide strategies to control the pain sensation threshold.
