Three-dimensional, unsteady simulations of developing turbulent flows in a rectangular
channel containing a cylindrical rod have been performed to investigate their sensitivity to …

Axial flow around an array of cylinders is commonly encountered in nuclear reactors and
heat exchangers. This geometry is subject to important flow instabilities. The chaotic flow …

It has been a long time since the 'abnormal'turbulent intensity distribution and high inter-sub-
channel mixing rates were observed in the vicinity of the narrow gaps formed by the fuel …

The literature indicates that a prismatic-core very high temperature reactor can experience
thermal stratification and hot spot issues in the lower plenum (LP). This research …

Single-phase and two-phase flow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were
performed for the coolant flow inside a CANDU thirty-seven element fuel string and the …

Nonthermal irreversible electroporation (NTIRE) is an new minimally invasive tissue ablation
modality that uses high electric field pulses to produce irreversible permeation of the cell …

Airflow through a corrugated tubing can generate loud tonal sounds. The production of these
tones, sometimes called as whistling, in a corrugated tubing is an interesting phenomenon …

This paper presents an experimental investigation of effects of angular misalignment on flow-
induced vibration of two simulated 43-element CANDU fuel bundles in an out-reactor fresh …

This paper presents a methodology for solving thermal-hydraulic flows that are prototypical
to nuclear reactors, using a stabilized finite element method. The discrete equations are …

Comprehensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models are developed and analyzed in
this paper to study the three-dimensional flow through simulated nuclear fuel bundles with …
