The NEPTUNE project constitutes the thermal-hydraulic part of the long-term Electricité de
France and Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique joint research and development program for …

For the last 30 years, experimental and modeling studies have been carried out on fluidized
bed reactors from laboratory up to industrial scales. The application of developed models for …

In this study, bubbling fluidization of a sand fluidized bed with different biomass loadings are
investigated by means of the experiments and numerical simulation. The radioactive particle …

In the context of the Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) studies related to PWR life extension,
a two-phase CFD (Eulerian two-field 3D transient) approach has been developed and …

This paper focuses on the modelling and the numerical simulation with the NEPTUNE_CFD
code of cavitation phenomena and boiling bubbly flows. Compressible, unsteady, turbulent …

The two-fluid simulation of a fluidised bed of non-adhesive particles, in which particles are
represented as a continuous medium, requires a model for the pressure associated with …

The NEPTUNE_CFD code, based upon an Eulerian multi-fluid model, is developed within
the framework of the NEPTUNE project, financially supported by EDF (Electricité de France) …

In two-fluid simulations of gas–solid fluidised beds, the gaseous phase and the particulate
phase are modelled as continuous media. The stress exerted by the particulate medium on …

NEPTUNE_CFD is a code based on a 3D transient Eulerian two-fluid model. One of the
main application targets is the two-phase Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS), which is related …

Following a joint OECD/NEA-IAEA-sponsored meeting to define the current role and future
perspectives of the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to nuclear reactor …
