Probabilistic reactor dynamics: Computational models

Description

Probabilistic reactor dynamics is reactor dynamics supplemented by the fact that deterministic trajectories in phase-space switch to other trajectories because of stochastic changes in the structure of the reactor such as change of state of components by failures, inducing eventually other changes of state by regulation feedback, or even because of human error. The main objective of the theory is to evaluate the probability density that the reactor characterized by its dynamic state anti x in phase-space (power, temperatures, etc.) and by its component states i will be at time t in (anti x, i)
