Nuclear fuel bundles are subjected to axial coolant flow in addition to jet cross-flow in a
specific design of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The combined axial flow and jet cross …

Flow injecting through loss of coolant accident (LOCA) holes in the baffle plates of some
pressurized water reactors (PWRs) can potentially induce vibrations of reactor fuel …

Jet flow emanating from loss of coolant accident (LOCA) holes in the baffle plates of some
pressurized water reactors (PWRs) was found responsible for flow-induced vibration in …

The study investigates cross flow-induced vibration under conditions of transverse flow
nonuniformity through a visualization-based experimental approach. Flow-induced vibration …

Jet flows injected in a transverse flow need rapid and effective mixing for various
applications ranging from medicine injection into bloodstreams to nuclear pressurized water …

Nuclear fuel bundles are exposed to localized normal impinging jet cross-flow at certain
locations along the fuel rod span in a specific design of pressurized water reactors (PWRs) …

As nuclear reactor cores approach the end of their lifespans, it is a crucial aspect to ensure
that the structural integrity of the reactor internals is not affected. The baffle-former bolts are …

Some pressurized water reactors (PWRs) are designed to relieve the pressure increase in
the barrel-baffle region associated with a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). Flow holes, called …
