Neural Operator Surrogates for Two-Dimensional Neutron Flux Estimation
Short summary
This study extends 1D neural-operator transport solvers to 2D, comparing Fourier neural operators (FNOs) and U-shaped neural operators (UNOs) for approximating scalar neutron flux. Three surrogate configurations are tested: direct FNO, direct UNO, and an FNO incorporating a single-sweep approximation as additional input. The study also examines whether training on logarithmic flux improves accuracy in strongly attenuated shielding regions.
- •Extends 1D neural-operator neutron transport studies to 2D with isotropic scattering
- •Compares FNO and UNO surrogates, including a single-sweep-augmented FNO variant
- •Investigates logarithmic flux training for improved accuracy in shielding-relevant attenuated regions
