Data assimilation for nuclear cores
Control vector \(\underline x\):
3D fields : neutronic flux, temperature, chemical concentration
Parameters : boundary reflections, diffusion coefficients
Hundred of grid points
Observation vector \(\underline y\):
Neutronic and thermohydraulic sensors
Thousand of observations
Beyond geophysical applications, as large number of domains in which modelling plays an important role are concerned by the development of data assimilation. This is the case of the modelling of the core of nuclear plants.
