Description

Based on the study of the internal structure of subchannel code COBRA-IV and computational fluid dynamics code CFX, the coupling interfaces have been developed, and an external control code was built to realize coupling of two codes. Results from the coupling calculation of a 5 x 5 rods assembly problem verified the COBRA-IV/CFX coupling code. (authors)
