Modelling, simulation and experiments on boiling processes in pressurized water reactors


Modelling, simulation and experiments on boiling processes in pressurized water reactors

Krepper, E.

A collaborative project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the framework of the R&D program "Energie 2020+" by four Universities, two Research Centres and ANSYS is coordinated by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). The project is directed towards the development and validation of CFD models of boiling processes in PWR in the range from subcooled nucleate boiling up to the critical heat flux. The work is oriented towards basic research and focused on model development, simulation and experiments on different scales. An important objective is the education and maintaining of competence in nuclear technology.
