In this paper, we develop a new optimization approach, i.e., Discrete Firefly Algorithm (DFA), in order to implement in the loading pattern optimization of nuclear reactor core.
In this paper, the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm was for the first time used for reloading pattern optimization of Bushehr's VVER-1000 reactor in the second cycle.
Exact understanding of these blocks geometry is an essential issue concerned in different domains of rock engineering such as support system of underground spaces built in jointed rock masses, design of blasting pattern, optimization of fragmentation, determination of cube blocks in quarry mines, blocks stability, etc.
The flow pattern optimization of the CWCT shows that air and process water in the opposite direction, spray water and the other fluids in the cross direction is the best flow pattern, which is distinct from the general knowledge of the researches.
In this research, an innovative solution is described which can be used with a combination of the new imperialist competitive algorithm and the weighting factor method to improve speed and increase globality of search in reloading pattern optimization of VVER-1000 reactors in transient cycles and even obtain more desirable results than conventional direct method.
A dendrogram for the PFGE patterns was constructed using the Dice similarity coefficient and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) algorithm, with settings for pattern optimization of 1.0% and band tolerance of 1.0%.
As specific problems, the design optimization of fine-pattern tracking and focusing coils of an optical pickup actuator is considered.
This paper proposes a design method of array pattern optimization for sidelobe level (SLL) reduction.
Loading pattern optimization results of two well-known problems confirm better performance of EDFA in obtaining nearly optimized fuel arrangements in comparison to CFA and DFA.
In this paper, we develop a novel optimization algorithm, Bat Algorithm (BA), in order to implement in the Loading Pattern Optimization (LPO) of nuclear reactor core.
