In this paper, development of coupled codes using two-group neutron diffusion kinetics code and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver Fluent has been introduced. Way of coupling, time step control algorithm and spatial mesh overlays have been summarized in detail which are basic components and challenges of the coupling methodologies. The implement and verification of coupled code have been modeled on integral pressurized water reactor (IPWR) IP200 with hexagonal fuel assembly in the core and once-through steam generators. The steam line break core transient was analyzed in coupled code simulation of a core boundary conditions derived from system code simulation results. The results presented transient three-dimensional distribution of the key operation parameters such as reactor power and coolant temperature, also demonstrated the inherent safety features of IP200. The current work will bring about the ability to explore multi-scale and multi-dimensional safety transient evaluations and give more precise neutronics/thermal-hydraulics mapping.
