Advances of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Nuclear Reactor Design and Safety Assessment

Advances of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Nuclear Reactor Design and Safety Assessment brings together the latest computational fluid dynamic technologies in one thorough resource written by relevant experts in each area. Editors Joshi and Nayak have an invaluable wealth of experience which enables them to present a historical review on the development of CFD models, an analysis of the technologies currently in practice, and also provide an informed prediction for the future of CFD in nuclear reactors. This book offers a thematic discussion on each aspect of CFD applications for the design and safety assessment of Gen II to Gen IV reactor concepts to improve on the cost reduction of nuclear power plants. It includes an evaluation of safety systems for reactors using CFD and their design, the modelling of Severe Accident Phenomena Using CFD, Model Development for Two-phase Flows, and Applications for Sodium and Molten Salt Reactor Designs, making it a valuable resource for all those studying, researching and working in CFD and helping them to apply the knowledge gained to their analysis of design and systems. Presents a thematic and comprehensive discussion on each aspect of CFD applications for the design and safety assessment of nuclear reactorsProvides a historical review of the development of CFD models, discusses state-of-the-art concepts, as well an applied and analytic look to the futureIncludes CFD tools and simulations to advise and guide the reader through enhancing cost effectiveness, safety and performance optimization INDICE: 1.
