Goal of the course

Content

This course deals with thermal-hydraulic modelling in fuel assemblies. It starts with a short introduction of the structure and design criteria of nuclear reactors. Three different approaches of thermal-hydraulic analysis are presented, i.e. single channel approach, sub-channel approach and 3-dimensional approach. For each approach fundamental idea, mathematic background, required closure models will be described. Moreover, merits and shortages of each approach will be discussed. In addition to several application examples, opportunity will be given to students to make exercise with sub-channel analysis codes.
