A deterministic multi-physics field coupled simulation method for helium-xenon cooled mobile nuclear reactors is used to simulate the cross-section library obtained from the simulation of neutron transport by Monte Carlo as well as the geometrical parameters in the preset cold state, simulate the generation of grids used in the calculations, and then carry out neutron multi-group diffusion calculations based on the preset temperature distributions in the cold state, to obtain the neutron flux distributions and the power space distributions; and then combine the helium-xenon cooled channel boundary conditions with the power space Then, using the open-source finite element framework FeniCS, the temperature field and structural displacement of the substrate are sequentially calculated; finally, the core model, material parameters and nuclear data are corrected using the updated temperature and geometric parameters, and the neutron diffusion calculation is re-executed, and the neutron field, power field, temperature field, stress field, and displacement field of the core under the nuclear-thermal coupling condition are obtained by repeating the iteration until the convergence condition is satisfied. The simulation of helium-xenon-cooled mobile nuclear reactors plays an important role in core design, multiphysics field simulation and reactor safety design.
