Possibilities and Limitations of CFD Simulation for Flashing Flow Scenarios in Nuclear Applications

The flashing phenomenon is relevant to nuclear safety analysis, for example by a loss of coolant accident and safety release scenarios. It has been studied intensively by means of experiments and simulations with system codes, but computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is still at the embryon...
