Efficient determination of the effective multiplication factor (keff) is an important computational task in reactor core neutronics analysis. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) incorporate neutr...
The paper introduces JI-PINN, a joint initialization strategy for physics-informed neural networks that simultaneously initializes neutron flux and the effective multiplication factor (keff) using a low-resolution approximate solution. By jointly optimizing both quantities under physical constraints, the method achieves significant reductions in computational time—up to nearly 50%—across various benchmark neutron diffusion problems while maintaining accuracy. It also reduces anomalous keff deviations, offering a more robust approach to solving K‑eigenvalue problems with PINNs.

This chapter reviews recent advances in Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) for modeling coupled fluid flow and transport phenomena governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes and scalar transport equations. Such systems, found in applications like turbidity currents and thermal convection, feature strong nonlinear coupling and multiscale behavior that make high-fidelity simulations computationally expensive.
