Description

This sesion is intended to discuss the use, development and implementation of computational tools and numerical methods to study thermal-hydraulic aspects of the nuclear field. More specifically, but not exclusively, some of the topics of interest are: thermal fluids and conjugate heat transfer, boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux, thermal-hydraulics related to reactor safety, design of fuel assemblies (rod bundles, parallel plates) under different thermal-hydraulic conditions, containment and confinement behaviour for reactor systems during accidental conditions, as well as, computer codes commonly used in licensing analyses, model and quantification of uncertainties, multi-phase flow phenomena relevant to nuclear system, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and coupled codes.
