摘要：The environment effect arises when pin-cell homogenized parameters are generated with reflective boundary conditions. To treat it in whore-core pin-by-pin calculation, two works are summarized in this article. Firstly, by analyzing the relative errors of pin-cell homogenized group constants and the relative importance of pin-cell discontinuity factors (PDF) in each group, the importance of correcting the PDF of the thermal group is recognized. Secondly, the least-squares method for a multivariate polynomial is utilized to functionalize the relation of the thermal group PDF and the core parameters, including diffusion coefficient, removal cross-section, neutron source, and normalized surface flux. The C5G7 and KAIST benchmarks are employed to evaluate the performance of the PDF predication. Numerical results indicate its effectiveness in reducing the errors of eigenvalue and pin power, especially for the cases with the fuel pins located near the interface between different assemblies.
