Partial convergence of CMFD can help to stabilize multiphysics iteration schemes. In this paper, an efficient multiphysics iteration scheme with near-optimal partially convergent CMFD implemented in MPACT is presented. In the new scheme, the feedback intensity of the problem is automatically estimated, and the relative convergence of CMFD solver is adjusted accordingly. Numerical results show that MPACT with near-optimal partially convergent CMFD can have almost the same convergence rate in problems with feedback as those without feedback. For the problems tested here the run time may be reduced by more than 20% and up to 49% compared with that of current MPACT.
