We present a discontinuous Galerkin method for melting/solidification problems based on
the “linearized enthalpy approach,” which is derived from the conservative form of the …

This work presents two color LIF temperature measurements for the transient freezing in a
square channel under laminar flow conditions. This is the first time non-intrusive temperature …

The design of a molten salt reactor is largely based on CFD simulations. Phase change
plays an important role in the safety of the reactor, but numerical modelling of phase change …

We present a finite volume adaptive mesh refinement method for solid-liquid phase change
problems with convection. The refinement criterion consisted of three different error …

A vital part of the licensing process for advanced (non-LWR) nuclear reactor developers in
the United States is the assessment of the reactor's source term, ie, the potential release of …

In recent years, molten salt reactors (MSRs) have gained new momentum thanks to their
potential for innovation in the nuclear industry, and several studies on their compliance with …

In the past, majority of tools for modeling and simulation of nuclear reactors were focused
towards simulating light water reactors, due to the large operational experience. Only …
