This paper develops a multi‐physics interface code MC‐FLUENT to couple the Monte Carlo
code OpenMC with the commercial computational fluid dynamics code ANSYS FLUENT …

Two-phase flow instabilities have been highly researched in the past decades. Many
researches gave different stability criterions based on experiments or calculations. However …

The flow instability of downward flow in a narrow rectangular channel was experimentally
investigated with visualization under low pressure, low speed flow and two-side heated …

Abstract Density Wave Oscillation (DWO) is one of the most common types of instability in
boiling systems. Many experiments were conducted to investigate DWO in various geometry …

Abstract Application of the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) to BWR
analysis is assessed in this paper by comparing results to those calculated using other …

Integrated reactors generally use once-through steam generators (OTSGs). There are a lot
of parallel channels in OTSG interior, and heat transfer tube secondary side sees severe …

The flow instability can lead to damage of equipment in nuclear reactors and especially the
core of plate-fuel element under low pressure. It is critical to predicting the onset of flow …

In order to design more stable and safer core configurations, experimental and theoretical
studies about BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) instability have been performed to characterize …

The paper summarises the results of the application of numerical techniques in gaining
insight into physical phenomena of interest for nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics. Emphasis …

Boiling water reactor (BWR) instabilities may occur when, starting from a stable operating
condition, changes in system parameters bring the reactor towards an unstable region. In …
