Neural Operators Enhance 2D Neutron Flux Estimation

Researchers have developed new neural operator models, specifically Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) and U-shaped neural operators (UNOs), to estimate neutron flux in two-dimensional scenarios. These models are trained to approximate the scalar flux using material and source fields, with one FNO variant also incorporating a single-sweep approximation of the flux. The performance of these surrogates is evaluated against high-fidelity solutions from a discrete-ordinates solver, measuring accuracy via the average relative L2 error norm. AI

    Neural Operator Surrogates for Two-Dimensional Neutron Flux Estimation

    arXiv:2607.19388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work extends our one-dimensional single-sweep neural-operator studies to two dimensions. We consider one-group transport with isotropic scattering. As in the one-dimensional work, we use Fourier neural operators (FNOs) to appro…
