The dynamical systems found in nature are rarely isolated. Instead they interact and
influence each other. The coupling functions that connect them contain detailed information …

Sodium cooled fast reactors have been developed in France for nearly 50 years with
successively Rapsodie, Phenix and Superphenix plants. Thermal hydraulic challenges have …

Due to computational time limitations, fully resolved simulations using the two‐fluid model of
the flow inside industrial‐scale fluidized beds are unaffordable. The filtered approach is …

After a thorough analysis of the industrial needs and of the limitations of current simulation
tools, EDF and CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique) launched the NEPTUNE Project in …

An iterative procedure for the solution of multi-fluid equations for gas–particle flows, with
kinetic theory closures and frictional stress models for the description of the particle phase is …

A thermal-hydraulic code, named CUPID, has been being developed for the realistic
analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components. The CUPID code …

Heat convection is an important phenomenon in the process of cooling polymer spur gears
running in dry conditions, which ultimately affects the strength of the gears. In order to gain …

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 …

Simulation is becoming increasingly important in the safety analysis of nuclear reactors
nowadays. The physical phenomena in a nuclear power plant happen on three classified …

Two-phase Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now increasingly applied to some
nuclear reactor thermalhydraulic investigations. A Writing Group of the OECD–NEA on the …
