The growing demand for high-performance propulsion systems in aerospace has highlighted that current multi-physics coupling technologies cannot accurately assess the performance and safety of low-enriched uranium nuclear thermal propulsion reactors (LEU-NTPRs) under extreme conditions. Accordingly, this study employs advanced multi-physics coupling methods to investigate the performance, safety, and thermoelastic behavior of LEU-NTPR assemblies and their core geometries under several extreme boundary conditions, providing a scientific basis for...
