Welcome

ROOSTER (Robust Object-Oriented Solver of Transport Equations in a Reactor) is a software developed to model a steady-state and transient behaviour of Generation-IV nuclear systems using fast neutron spectrum and liquid metals for cooling (Gen-IV SFR and LFR).

The code is open source (ROOSTER GitHub repository), multiphysics, object-oriented, written in Python 3 with Fortran 2009 math kernels.

The code includes

  • physical models for:

    • neutronics;

    • coolant thermal hydraulics;

    • heat transfer in heat structures; and

  • mathematical tools, including:

    • ordinary differential equation solver;

    • symbolic and linear algebra.
