In-vessel retention (IVR) constitutes a pivotal strategy aimed at ensuring the structural
integrity of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The lower cylinder is subjected to a high …

Motivated by efficient assessment of the in-vessel retention (IVR) strategy employed in some
designs of light water reactors, a lumped-parameter code named as transIVR was …

The failure of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) during a severe accident of light water reactors
is a thermal fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem which involves melt pool heat transfer …

Reactor pressure vessel (RPV) failure analysis is a thermo-fluid-structure coupled problem
involving the melt pool heat transfer and RPV structural failure. It is of great importance to the …

This thesis aims at the development of new coupling approaches and new models for the
thermo-fluid-structure coupling problem of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) failure during …

The research activities on reactor severe accident in LWRs at the group IKET-UNA and
since September 2018 named IKET-SAR from 2017 to 2018 are focused on the in-and …

Due to the recent high interest on in-vessel melt retention (IVR), development of detailed
thermal and structural analysis tool, which can be used in a core-melt severe accident, is …
