Development and assessment of CFD models including a supplemental program code for analyzing buoyancy-driven flows through BWR fuel assemblies in SFP complete LOCA scenarios

Development and assessment of CFD models including a supplemental program code for analyzing buoyancy-driven flows through BWR fuel assemblies in SFP complete LOCA scenarios

This work seeks to illustrate the potential benefits afforded by implementing aspects of fluid dynamics, especially the latest computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling approach, through numerical experimentation and the traditional discipline of physical experimentation to improve the calibration...
