Fluid-Structure Interaction in a 3-by-3 Reduced-Scale Fuel Assembly Network

We present experimental results on 9 reduced-scale fuel assemblies arranged in a network of 3 by 3, subjected to an axial flow. The objective is to analyse the fluid force induced by the motion of the central fuel assembly on the others fuel assemblies. The displacement of the central fuel assembly...
