Comparison of multimesh \(hp\)-FEM to interpolation and projection methods for spatial coupling of thermal and neutron diffusion calculations





This paper proposes the adaptive higher-order finite element method (\(hp\)-FEM) that employs an assembly process to discretize multiphysics coupled problems in a monolithic way without employing operator splitting or data transfer between meshes. Each solution component is approximated on an different mesh that is obtained adaptively to best for the specific physics requirements. This study explores the use of adaptive multimesh \(hp\)-FEM for computational nuclear engineering problems. It is compares the performance of the considered methods by solving a multi groupneutron diffusion problem on a two dimensional multimesh. The authors show that the multimesh \(hp\)-FEM method is significantly more accurate than the interpolation and projection approaches considered in this study.
