This text describes a comprehensive adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology (nth-CASAM), developed by the author, which enablesthe efficient and exact computation of arbitrarily high-order functional derivatives of model responses to model parameters in large-scale systems. The nth-CASAM framework is set in linearly increasing Hilbert spaces, each of state-function-dimensionality, as opposed to exponentially increasing parameter-dimensional spaces, thereby overcoming the so-called “curse of dimensionality” in sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. The nth-CASAM is applicable to any model; the larger the number of model parameters, the more efficient the nth-CASAM becomes for computing arbitrarily high-order response sensitivities. The book will be helpful to those working in the fields of sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, model validation, optimization, data assimilation, model calibration, sensor fusion, reduced-order modelling, inverse problems and predictive modelling.

This Volume Two, the second of three, presents the large-scale application of the nth-CASAM to perform a representative fourth-order sensitivity analysis of the Polyethylene-Reflected Plutonium benchmark described in the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) Handbook. This benchmark is modeled mathematically by the Boltzmann particle transport equation, involving 21,976 imprecisely-known parameters, the numerical solution of which requires representative large-scale computations. The sensitivity analysis presented in this volume is the most comprehensive ever performed in the field of reactor physics and the results presented in this book prove, perhaps counter-intuitively, that many of the 4th-order sensitivities are much larger than the corresponding 3rd-order ones, which are, in turn, much larger than the 2nd-order ones, all of which are much larger than the 1st-order sensitivities. Currently, the nth-CASAM is the only known methodology which enables such large-scale computations of exactly obtained expressions of arbitrarily-high-order response sensitivities.

About the Author

Professor Cacuci’s career spans over 40 years in the field of nuclear science and energy, encompassing both academia and national multidisciplinary research centers. His scientific expertise includes predictive best-estimate analysis of large-scale physical and engineering systems, large scale scientific computations and, within nuclear science and engineering, reactor multi-physics,

dynamics, and safety. Prof. Cacuci served as the Chaired Professor and Director of the Institutes for Reactor Technology (Uni Karlsruhe/KIT) and Reactor Safety (KfK/FZK/KIT) and has also served as the Scientific Director of the Nuclear Energy Directorate of France’s Atomic Energy Commission. During 1984-2019, Prof. Cacuci was the Editor of Nuclear Science and Engineering; since 2019, he has been serving as the Founding Editor of the open-access Journal of Nuclear Engineering (MDPI). Prof. Cacuci has received many prestigious awards, including four titles of Doctor Honoris Causa, the E. O. Lawrence Award and Gold Medal from the US DOE, the Alexander von Humboldt Prize for Senior Scholars; from the American Nuclear Society (ANS), he has received the Arthur Holly Compton Award, the Eugene P. Wigner Award, the Glenn Seaborg Medal, Young Members Engineering Achievement Award, and was elected an ANS Fellow. He is a member of several international and national academies of arts and sciences, has made over 600 presentations worldwide, has authored 6 books, 6 book chapters, over 300 peer-reviewed articles, and has edited the comprehensive Handbook of Nuclear Engineering (Springer, 2010). He is currently the Director of the Center of Economic Excellence in Nuclear Science and Energy and SmartState Endowed Chair Professor of Nuclear Engineering at University of South Carolina.

Dr. Fang is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, performing research on predictive modeling of large-scale physical and engineering systems with applications in the broad areas of thermal science, nuclear science and energy. He received his B.S. from the Thermal Power Engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China; and M.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina in 2011. Dr. Fang has authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles in thermal-hydraulic safety analysis for liquid-metal cooled advanced Small Modular Reactors, facility modeling for separation and safeguards, and thermal management of all-electric ship’s power electronic systems.

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Books Puddle, New York, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
