CFD analysis of the flow blockage in a rectangular fuel assembly of the IAEA 10 MW MTR research reactor

When a nuclear reactor with rectangular fuel assemblies runs for a long time, impurities and debris may be taken into coolant channels, which may cause flow blockage, and the blocked fuel assemblies might be destroyed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to perform a thermal-hydraulic analysis o...
